Notes on how this country is shown

For 1529–1555 the territory is the central European land (Austria and Bohemia) that the source data had inside the Spanish shape, moved to this state. The borders are approximate.

In 1521–1522 Charles V (king of Spain) handed the Austrian hereditary lands to his brother Ferdinand, and in 1526 Ferdinand became king of Bohemia and Hungary. Under Charles V the Spanish and Austrian lands were under one man but remained separate realms, and the map draws them separately.
