What's some good and detailed literature about the Holy Roman Empire and its states during the middle ages, ~1100 to ~1300, especially in the general area of Switzerland
I'm willing to spend bucks on good books and maps, even moreso if books with maps

OP anything on Eastern Europe around that time?
Coming out in April. If it's half as good as his work on the 30 years war, you're in for a treat.

Define Eastern Europe. It's such a huge and diverse area any book covering it all would probably be way too general and non-specific.
>>860596
says it is already out
>>860604
Honestly, I'm fairly new to reading history so I'm not sure what I'm looking for, something introductory I guess.
As a European I've decided I ought to start learning more than just what was taught to me in school

Oh boy I hope it's another 800 pages of excruciating detail

What's so bad about that?

Oh no that wasn't actually sarcastic. I loved his book on the 30 Years War.
>>860956
>implying he isn't hard for the prospect of a thousand pages of excruciating detail
This is /his/, after all.
>>860963
exactly. The only book I'd say was better in that respect was Ring of Steel by Alexander Watson.

Just ordered this. Should I read Europe's Tragedy first, or are the two mutually exclusive?

You should be fine without Europe's Tragedy. That was more of an in-depth look into the 30 Years War, while this one looks more like a look at the entire history of the "H""R""E"

What exactly is going on in the areas that these maps leave 'blank' and list as 'too minor to note'? Is it just dozens of independent townships which slipped through the cracks of Imperial attention?
>>866392
Essentially yeah, also possibly independent Knights and castles
