    This map is more precise and accurate.

    Hmm, 1360, both Castile and Aragon in the same colour as if they were regions of the same country? Nah, not accurate at all, sorry.

    No, Aragon and Castile have similar colour but isn't the same colour, if you large this photo see it.
    Have two separate kingdoms.
    This is an another photo from 1360:

    They're separate, but it pretty much looks as two shades of a similar colour, which has probably been made intentionally for some reason. Compare it to the contrastive colours in England vs Scotland, clearly different even in small size.

    Better. But you can still perceive how similar colours are probably used intentionally. Apparently people can't help being biased by the present situation of things.

    That is a pretty incredible map. It's interesting how accurate the Mediterranean is in particular, looks almost exactly the same as a modern map.
