The Angevin Empire, 1200 AD | Shaded Relief Map Framed Print
When the King of England ruled half of France: the Plantagenet lands early in the reign of King John.
A shaded relief map of the Angevin Empire in AD 1200, early in the reign of King John, rendered from real elevation data. England, the Lordship of Ireland and the French fiefs from Normandy to Gascony stand out in one colour over the natural terrain, with period names and a fact panel.
Every mountain range, river valley and coastline is modelled from real digital elevation data and lit like a cinematic aerial shot, so the empire's terrain reads at a glance. Borders, cities and regions were carefully reconstructed from historical sources.
On the map:
- The empire in one colour over natural terrain, with its neighbours named around it
- Key cities, with period names: London, Rouen, Angers, Poitiers, Bordeaux, Winchester, York, Dublin, Caen, Le Mans
- A legend, a scale bar and an "At its height" panel of key facts
At its height:
- King: John (r. 1199-1216), youngest son of Henry II and Eleanor
- Founder: Henry II (r. 1154-1189), Count of Anjou and King of England
- Queen Mother: Eleanor of Aquitaine (d. 1204), duchess in her own right
- Dynasty: Plantagenet, or House of Anjou; 'Angevin Empire' coined 1887
