Coverage of the various historical cultures, rulers, and states of Europe
From 1227, the conquered territory of Ösel-Wiek (today's Saaremaa and Läänemaa in Estonia) was divided between the archbishop of Riga, the Order, and the city of Riga, but the latter was edged out to leave the prince-bishops and the Order in charge.
Liege: Territory
The diocese of the medieval bishops of Liege was, until 1559, much larger than the territory of the prince-bishopric of Liege, in this new series of articles which delves deeper into the history.

Cathedral and Fulling Mill, Durham por Kevin Snowdon Via Flickr: The Cathedral Church of Christ, Blessed Mary the Virgin and St. Cuthbert of Durham, usually known as Durham Cathedral and the home of the Shrine of St. Cuthbert, is the seat of the Anglican Bishop of Durham. The bishopric dates from 995, with the present cathedral being founded in 1093. The cathedral is regarded as one of the finest examples of Norman architecture, and has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site along with nearby Durham Castle, which faces it across Palace Green. Durham Cathedral occupies a strategic position on a promontory high above the River Wear. An old mill located at the base of the promontory, originally used in the 'fulling' process of woollen cloth-making, now houses Durham University's Museum of Archaeology. Together, the cathedral and fulling mill comprise what has become a 'signature' composition for the city of Durham, and as such, this must be among the most photographed scenes anywhere! This shot was taken from a little further upstream from the most popular location, with a 'dead-level' shooting angle, combined with careful cropping, serving to minimise the distortion of the fish-eye lens while making the most of its wide-angle capability.
