    Sounds like you could be referring to the 1494 Treaty of Tordesillas?

    Got to be the Balkans then - Bosnia, Albania or Kosovo most likely, Macedonia or Bulgaria also possible.

    Correct! I borrowed a leaf from VG31's book and based it on the date. Some lad named Richard I arrived in the place on this date in 1191 and kicked off one of his crusades.

    You're up!

    Maybe in the very broadest sense, but I don’t think so, that would be a bit of a stretch. But you’re getting close.

    Hmmm. Is the building in the background a twin turreted medieval fortification with really prescient planning permission or something more modern?

    It’s a place of worship built in the 13th century.
