The Medieval Era, is fantastic and there's still a lot to be done...
It's incredible how far people ventured, going against all of their fears.

The Medieval Sourcebook (I love that site) has a collection of maps from Muir's Historical Atlas (1911).

The maps are in a modern style with medieval borders.

I had a class in my 2nd year of college that was called "Medieval Methodology", the Medieval Sourcebook was a must for everyone. I can't believe I totally forgot about it. Thanks for bringing it up. It's a great site.

I typed in balkan into google, and then clicked on images to find a host of maps there (if you haven't done so already). I was pleasantly distracted by the fact that the 4th image was one of 4 lovely lady bottoms. With flags drawn on. Hurrah!
