see the Map society analyse : State 3 In this state the borders of the Medieval Heptarchy are marked and fourteen new names have been added to the southwestern regions of England. The events of 1688 must have motivated for these changes. The name ‘Tor baÿ’ was also added to the coast. Prince William of Orange Nassau, the future king of England, landed in Tor Bay on 5 November 1688 with his expedition army . Another important clue to help date the state is the map of the British Isles engraved by Johann Baptist Homann (1666–1724) for David Funck (1642–1709) of Nuremberg. Comparing both maps reveals that Homann’s map is not only a close copy of Danckerts’ but specifically the third state was used by Homann as his source.20 Peter Meurer and Klaus Stopp note in their monograph on Funck that Homann’s map was a supplement in Fortuna Britannica published in Hamburg in 1689.21 Fortuna Britannica dealt with events of the Glorious Revolution and the coronation of William and Mary in April 1689. So it is reasonable to suggest that Homann engraved his map in the first half of 1689. Moreover, the fourth state of Danckerts map was ready in the middle of 1689. All these considerations point to a mid-November 1688 to an early 1689 date of the third state. The only known example, hitherto identified, is at the Francksche Stiftung Library in Halle, 86 A-42 (05).
