    For history of the game world, see real world history and Real world history.The timelines on this page outline the history of the world that the MediEvil series takes place in. They are based on information from manuals, books and other in-game references. They also use information from the official websites and promotional materials.

    Historical events and story 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.

    Template:Spoilers <tabber>MediEvil 2=This timeline is based on real world information (eg. the birth and death of Ramesses II) and dates from MediEvil 2.

    Year Event
    c. 8614 B.C. RavenHooves the Archer, last prince of the Centaurs, dies before or around this time.
    c. 1303 B.C. Ramesses II is born.[1]
    c. 1232 B.C. Kiya is born.
    1213 B.C. Kiya is selected to accompany Ramesses on his journey to the afterlife.[1]
    c. 1250 Sir Dan is born.
    1285 The people of Gallows Town clamour for a democracy.[2]
    1286 Zarok returns from his exile, the Battle of Gallowmere takes place. Lord Kardok, Daniel and Canny Tim die in battle. Zarok survives the battle and flees into hiding.
    1386 Zarok returns once again, but unwittingly resurrects Daniel, who eventually defeats him. (MediEvil)
    1774 Fisherman Phil McCaven caught a Kraken off the coast of Bognor Regis.
    1817 Many possessions of Ramesses' are recovered from a Tomb at Abu Simbel, including Kiya's tomb and are brought and placed into the Great Museum in Kensington.[3.1]
    c. 1830 Professor Hamilton Kift is born.
    c. 1835 The Mullock King is born.
    c. 1840 Lord Palethorn and Madam Jo-jo are born.
    c. 1850 Mander and Dogman are born.
    1877 December: Lord Palethorn is expelled from the Magic Circle.
    1878 January 10: Lord Palethorn asks Professor Hamilton Kift to accompany him on a journey to the last resting place of Zarok's spell book.
    January 11: The Professor agrees to accompany Lord Palethorn.
    January 17: The Professor and Lord Palethorn stay the night in the Bonny Prince Charlie inn.
    January 18: The Professor and Palethorn arrive on the island where the tomb containing Zarok's spell book can be found.
    January 20: The Professor and Lord Palethorn find the entrance to the tomb.
    January 21: The Professor and Lord Palethorn enter the tomb. As Palethorn takes the spell book, the tomb begins to collapse. He pushes the Professor aside, whose hands are crushed by the closing tomb's door.
    Early February: The Professor is found by local fishermen and transported to Inverness to heal.
    March 31: The Professor constructs functional mechanical hands for himself, although he has trouble adjusting to them.
    April 1: The Professor recounts the events of January 21 in his journal.
    1885 March 12: the Professor performs experiments in an attempt to create a fully formed human specimen, but only manages to re-animate body parts, which mutate into monsters that he is forced to release into the London Underground.
    1886 Palethorn casts a spell that raises the dead, including Daniel once again. Dan teams up with the Professor and Kiya to stop him. However, Kiya is killed by Jack the Ripper. Daniel travels back in time using the Professor’s Time Machine to change this course of events. He saves Kiya and merges with his past self, creating the Super Armour. Eventually, Palethorn is defeated. (MediEvil 2)

    What happens next is disputed:

    • In the OUTRO ending, Daniel and Kiya return to their eternal slumber together in the Museum.
    • In the CHALLIS ending, Daniel and Kiya travel back in time and wound up in Zarok's Lair, but instead of encountering Zarok, they are met with a Palethorn of another timeline, who used the power of Zarok's spell book to travel back in time and replaced Zarok with himself.[4]
    • In MediEvil: Fate's Arrow, it is shown that Dan and Kiya use the time machine to travel through time. However, the time machine malfunctions and separates them. Dan ends up in 1286, one day before the Battle of Gallowmere while Kiya is transported back to her own lifetime.
    1902 Professor Marcus Effington Christy is born.[3.2]
    1910 It was believed back in 1886 that by this year, the moon will be a part of the great colonial empire.
    1962 The "Essays on Popular Delusion and the Madness of the Masses", written by Prof. Marcus Effington Christy are released. Among these delusions is included The Autumn of Death which describes the events of 1886 as such.[3.2]
    1963 Prof. Marcus Effington Christy dies.[3.2]
