In many if not all of these cases, the capital has changed, but in at least one case, Christiania - the capital remains the same, it is just the name which has changed.

@gowhere: Christiania has therefore been changed to Bergen (thanx)

I'm not sure about Antioch being in Iran; I searched for it but couldn't find it. Perhaps Persepolis or Esfahan would be a better clue? Also, with Bergen, I don't know if Bergen was a capital or not (I'm pretty sure it is) but I think Trondheim, capital from 997 to 1217, would be a better clue. Great game.

@Ashgabat: Bergen was the capital from 1217 to 1299 so I'm happy with that one. I have changed the Iran one though.
