Germany in the tenth century may have had its emperor to govern the territories shown within the dark black line, but it was still a patchwork of competing interests and power bases, most notably in the five great stem duchies, many of which were attempting to expand their own territories outside the empire, creating the various march or border regions to the east and south. To select a state or territory for further information, click on its name or anywhere within its borders.
