Largest cities in western Europe 1200

The largest Western European city in 1200 was Palermo, with 150 thousand inhabitants. This is a great decrease in the number 150 years previously, where the population was 350 thousand. The city of Cordova also decreased by almost 400 thousand in this time, possibly because of the declining Arabian control and influence in the area. Seville is the third largest city on this list, although it's overall population decreased by ten thousand since 1050. The largest cities are generally in Spain or Italy, although the second largest city on this list is Paris, with 110 thousand inhabitants. In the lists that follow, Paris remains at the top as either the largest (1500 and 1650) or second largest (1330 and 1800) city in Western Europe.

公元1200年，西方欧洲最大的城市为巴勒莫，人口达到十五万。相较于之前的一百年，人口数量大幅下降，当时的人口为三十五万。科尔多瓦城在此期间的人口也减少了近四十万，这或许与该地区阿拉伯控制和影响力的衰退有关。塞维利亚位列榜单第三，尽管自1050年以来，其总体人口减少了约一万。通常，最大城市集中在西班牙或意大利，尽管在本榜单中，巴黎位居第二，拥有十一万居民。在后续的列表中，巴黎始终保持领先地位，要么是最大城市（1500年和1650年），要么是第二大城市（1330年和1800年）。
