...Why does Lisboa reach Bragança? Doesn't make much sense to me. And I fail to understand what is "Lagas"? You probably mean Lagos, which was called Zawaia by the moors. In any case Lagos was extremely unimportant by that time. The most important and wealthy town in Alentejo was Silves, which is said to have been richer than Lisboa when our King captured it. It was called "The Baghdad of the West", since Baghdad was the center of the Caliphate in the East, and that by itself shows the importance and power of Silves in the Muslim world.
BLARGH!
In any case, in as Portugal (Obviously)
EDIT: Not to be rude, but your map is some serious geography fail.
-León in the map isn't quite actually León. Rename it Galicia. Salamanca can be renamed León, as that is the core region of León.
- Toledo is nowhere in the region of Toledo in the map. Toledo is in the Madrid region. Rename Toledo Salamanca (As Salamanca is in the Toledo region)
- Madrid doesn't exist in this period (Madrid was just a very small village back then), Toledo was the center of the Madrid region. Therefore rename the Madrid region, Toledo.
- Truj-what? Caceres would be a more fitting name. The province length is also quite odd since it reaches León when Caceres is Extremadura.
- Badajoz is sufficiently correct.
- Merida not only is unimportant in the period, but it is grossly misplaced. In the lack of something better, the name La Mancha (Which is the real name of the region), would suffice.
- Tolosa...is in the Basque Country. I have no clue how it ended up down there. Almansa would be a better name.
- Now...I have no idea what Jaliva actually is, but it is where Valencia should be.
- Cordoba is fine except the gigantic length of the province it shouldn't be a coastal province or anything close.
- Murcia is fine, but should be connected to Jaliva-Valencia
- Grenada is fine but Almeria was gigantically more important than Granada in that period.
- Sevilla region should be Cadiz. Sevilla is inside Cordoba region. Either connect this province with Lagas-Silves or create a new coastal province in Cordoba between these two named Sevilla.
- Morella is another place I have no idea where it is. Catalayud would be better I suppose.
- Valencia travelled a lot up north. The place should be renamed Castellón.
- Coastal Zaragoza is where Barcelona is located. Zaragoza should be renamed Barcelona.
- Saragosa should be renamed Zaragoza. I don't know what happened for the peninsula to have two Zaragozas.
- Barcelona should be renamed Urgell, since it was a powerful county in the period.
- Bragança is sort of fine.
- Porto is...a coastal city, do you know that? It should gain access to the sea.
- Lisbon is misplaced, as the city is located in the northern part of the Tagus Estuary.
- Coimbra should lose most of it's coastal territory to Porto and Lisbon, and gain inland territory from Lisbon and the Sourthernmost part of the Porto region.
- Silves, I have already spoken about.
