Map of Germany AD 962 (original) (raw)

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 those were constantly attempting to expand their own territories outside the empire, a process which created various 'march' or border regions to the east and south of the imperial territories.
