About The Tree of Europe
The aim, scope and author of this growing historical Atlas.
What the project does
The Tree of Europe is an interactive historical genealogy project. It places family relationships, dynasties, reigns and political connections in medieval and early modern Europe within one navigable network.
The Atlas combines genealogy, chronology and maps so that a person can be explored through their family, their lifetime and the territories connected to them.
How to read the records
A missing person or relationship does not mean that it did not exist historically. The record may simply not have been added yet.
The project prioritises people who connect branches, held power, founded significant lines or make a historical connection easier to understand. Documented corrections take priority over visual consistency.
Scope and author
The main period covered is 1200–1800. The database is still being expanded, corrected and documented.
The project is maintained by Manuel Muriel Cagigal, a European Studies student specialising in International Relations.
A free atlas, with optional support
The Tree of Europe is free. If you find it useful, you can voluntarily support its creation and maintenance through Ko-fi. Your contribution does not purchase products, services or exclusive access, and you can use the atlas without contributing.
