I don't either. I really like these quizzes. They are a lot of work to prepare, and not so hopeless to finish as it seems at all. When you've already practised with other historical quizzes with a map, you really have a good chance to know hundreds of those names.

(I got 319, and I should have remembered a lot more. This is really a challenge.)

Now it's 500, and I forgot about at least ten more that I should have known...

I like doing these historical map quizzes, because I like reading about folklore and other traditions. Lots of these place names ring a bell from traditional stories, or classical novels and poetry. Other place names regularly come up in books I start reading after doing the quizzes. They make me interested in the people who lived there at that time.

It's like getting to know these cultures better.

I would have thought that the various welsh states were already integrated into England at this point, since they were conquered a couple of centuries previous. Interesting that they, or rather whatever people the english put in control there, remained outside of England proper.

Wouldn't be until the 16th century when the so-called Welsh marcher lordships and the Principality of Wales were fully integrated into the Kingdom of England.

The principality itself around this time was ruled by the heir to the English throne. This is also why the heir apparent to the British throne carries the title "Prince/Princess of Wales".

Is there a Wikipedia article for Malmez? If there isn't is there any other informative page about it?
+1
Level 55
Oct 16, 2023
Yes, it does, although I seem to have misspelled the name originally. It does suggest a Mari principality based at Malmyzh existed in the 15th century, although it seems that we have no clear information about this state's history.

The Debatable Lands. De facto a lawless land ruled by warring clans since the 13th century. These lands weren't partitioned between England and Scotland until 1552.
