===Examples of usage=== | |||
*In the ''An Introduction to MediEvil'' section of the ''MediEvil'' comic, Sir Dan's year of birth is given as 1154. This contradicts ''MediEvil 2'', where in a book at the beginning of [[The Museum]], Sir Dan's birth year is said to be "around 1250." This information is reconciled by shifting forward the year in the comic by 100 years, thus making 1254 Dan's canonical year of birth. | |||
*Lord Palethorn is said to be 56 years old in the ''[[Medievil Times]]'' promotional newspaper. This contradicts the official ''MediEvil 2'' website and other press releases where he is said to be 45 years old. Because the newspaper was created by the Claydon Heeley Jones Mason advertising agency, it is considered a tier 4 resource and thus ranks lower than the official website for the game, making Palethorn's canonical age 45. | |||

{{Quote|Some scholars offer an alternative tale of Dan's resurrection. Among other things they claim that when first reanimated, Dan had a cantankerous one-eyed 'genie' hanging out inside his skull. They suggest that the Hall of Heroes was some open-air Greek spa floating in the clouds... Pah! Preposterous! None of that makes any sense!|''An Introduction to MediEvil'' from ''MediEvil: The Game Prequel''}} | {{Quote|Some scholars offer an alternative tale of Dan's resurrection.
