Detail of the eastern Mediterranean and Middle East, by Ranulf Higden, 1350.  That’s well into the Crusades – how on earth did they get there and back?  Must learn more about this cartography stuff.

Courtesy of Anachronista, I present links for Medieval Mapping.  As she says:

Want more images of period Maps? Clicketh, I say!
Maps of the Early Medieval Period (400-1300 A.D.)
Maps of the Late Medieval Period (1300 – 1500 A.D.)

Clicketh, indeed.  Excellent co-reading with my Realm of St. Stephen, which so far, is mostly about how Hungary as a region, didn’t keep very good records before Stephen (1000AD), but apparently made quite the impression on outsiders, who did.  And ‘Hungary’ comes from the Turkish word ‘onogar’, meaning ‘ten gars’.  Gar meaning a particular tribe in a particular place.  Nothing to do with Huns at all, though Atila certainly marched through the place.
