Handpainted and researched map of Western Europe in the era of King Henry II of the Angevin Empire. In the dynastic struggles of the high Middle Ages, the Plantagenets - based in Anjou but without a true capital city - have come to dominate much of Western Europe. Their rule stretches from Aquitaine in the South all the way to the Lordship of Ireland and garrisons in Scotland to the North. The County of Toulouse remains contested, although claimed by Henry II, it is effectively independent. The Capetians in Paris, meanwhile, will struggle to regain much of their lost territory in the coming decades. The map is written in Medieval Latin (Carolingian Miniscule) with a contemporary poem and with some modern English details at the bottom, next to copied manuscript illustrations of events in Henry's rule.

High-quality giclee print available at various sizes. The actual detail is greater than in the photos, which have been compressed.

Unfortunately, I do not typically sell my prints with the frames but if that is something you are interested in, please contact me directly.
