It also uses information from the [[:Category:Official websites|official websites]], [[:Category:Promotion|promotional materials]] and [[:Category:Interviews|interviews with the game developers]].  

Information from apocryphal sources, such as ''[[MediEvil: Resurrection]]'' and ''[[ghosthunter:Ghosthunter|Ghosthunter]]'', is also used.

Some events in the timeline are based on real world information due to concerning historical characters (or events), such as [[Ramesses II]] and [[Queen Victoria]]. They are thus subject to change should future entries into the series contradict them.

 

See [[GP:CANON]] for more information about which sources take precedence and what sources are acceptable for use on Gallowpedia.

Historical events preceded by "c." are approximations based on given information and are not to be considered exact dates, and may be subject to change as new information is given.

<span class="res">Some scholars believe that the people of Gallows Town clamoured for a democracy at this time.{{Gameref|MPSP|[[Sleeping Village]]|quote=The army marched south across the Silver Mountains and through the Silver Woods. Soon afterwards even the Pumpkinlands belonged to Zarok - and Gallows Town looked to be his for the taking. The people of the town cried out for help. "Save us, good King Peregrine!" they whined. And to think that, only the year before, they'd been clamouring for a democracy.>>King Peregrine wasn't one to bear a grudge, however, and he got his army together and marched against the undead multitude.|author=HISTORY OF GALLOWMERE, Volume 2}}</span>

|Fisherman [[Phil McCaven]] catches a [[Kraken]] off the coast of [[Bognor Regis]].{{Gameref|MED2|[[The Museum]]|author=Book|quote=The great Kraken, that could smash a boat between its fearsome jaws - some still suppose that the deepest seas still hold creatures like this great beast. Fisherman, Phil McCaven, caught this example off the coast of Bognor Regis in 1774.}}{{Note|name="regis"|The suffix "Regis" ("of the King") usually recalls the historical ownership of lands or manors by the Crown. However, Bognor Regis is the exception, being a modern example of the granting of the suffix "regis". In 1929, [[wikipedia:George V|George V]], having spent several months recuperating from a serious illness in the seaside resort of Bognor, allowed it to be renamed as "Bognor Regis". This means the museum book in ''MediEvil 2'' calls the town Bognor Regis 43 years ahead of it being named as such in the real world.}}
