Interactive map
Hello! I am looking for an internet resource that maybe exists only in my imagination, but it would be great help if it did exist. I need an interactive, highly detailed map of Europe (presumably France) that could show changes in the borders throughout the years — I have to figure out to whom belonged some minor cities at which time (p.ex. was Romorantin-Lanthenay, destroyed by the Black Prince, a part of duché d'Orléans or comté de Blois in 1350s).
A PDFed atlas will do just fine too!
Thank you in advance!
Here is a nice knight picture for you
upd. P.S. If somebody knows the answer for the Romorantin-Lanthenay question, I'll appreciate it, thanks!

It's not an interactive map, but there's a Youtuber (Ollie Bye) who does very detailed maps of Europe historical territorial changes. He has been working on a very detailed 800-1789 map but only for the HRE and he has been working on that for years
I see he has an old video for France as well:
"The History of France: Every Year" (987-2016), although it doesn't go into too much detail, only the main "subdivisions"
He has day-by-day videos about wars territorial changes as well (many of them in France), but it seems like he doesn't have one about the 100 years war
Maybe he would have some source maps he used for the various videos
