The Orthodox stayed true

I'm not entirely sure what the thesis of this thread is, but I love a good map, and anything cartographic in general.
European tribes in the early middle ages is a fascinating thing to study.

You may find the history of the church in the British Isles quite interesting. Being at the edge of the former [Western] Roman Empire, the forms of Christianity which developed here are quite distinct from those of the European mainland.
Although not formally termed an 'Empire', the Celts of the British Isles maintained cultural and trade connections along the western seaboard. The map shows Hibernia (Ireland), Wales, Cornwall, and Brittany, but this extended further to Galicia.

On a slightly different topic, anyone else a devotee of the Paradox line of grand strategy (map staring) games? I have wasted/invested so many hours on Crusader Kings (1,2,3). There are some pretty neat mods for Crusader Kings 2 which extend the game's timeline back to the 6th century (albeit focusing on the British Isles and northern Gaul).
