Additional timelines

Assorted miscellaneous dates

  • Harrison Knight (Heinz Ritter) was 21 when he immigrated to America.
  • Grandma Knight is said to be seventy in the GK1 Novel, this would place her birth in 1923. However, in GK1, there is a 1920's hat in the attic that suggests she might have been older during the twenties (perhaps in her eighties).
  • Philip Knight was born when his mother Rebecca/Ester Wright was 22. If this was tied to information in GK1 Novel, it would make philip's birth about 1945.
  • Harrison Knight died at 36. Philip Knight was eight at the time. It took Gran nearly a year to believe he was really gone.
  • If philip's birth was in 1945, this would make Harrison's birth about 1917. His immigration to america would be about 1938, and his death about 1953.
  • In GK1 there is 1925 photograph of Wolfgang, his brother, and his father, in which they are already men. In GK1 he is said to be 72, which would make him having been born in 1921 (or only 4 in 1925). According to GK2, Wolfgang was born in 1923 (or 2 in 1925).
  • Gabriel's parents Margerate Knight (Margaret Templeton) and Phillip died when Gabriel was eight in GK1. In the novel, he was a year old when they died[148]). According to the novel they were were married two years before their death.[149]
  • Doing the math from information from the GK1 novel and game, Gabriel would have been born, when Philip was eighteen. Depending on the source Philip died either when he was about 16 (when gabriel was one year old), or 26 (when Gabriel was eight).
  • In GK1 Novel, it is said that Gabriel is over 30 years old. It talks about his reoccuring dream started going up when he hit thirty, and that it really had picked up in the last month. It later states that he is thirty-three years old. This means that in the novel he was born in 1960, and in GK3 he was born in 1963.
  • However the novel and games timelines are not directly connected and have some major differences, these would have an alternate effect on the timeline. Assuming that Gabriel is 30 in 1993 in GK1, and working backwards, Gabriel would have been born in 1963, his father would have died about 1971 (at age 36 like his father?), so perhaps having been born about 1935. Philips father (age 36) died when he was eight, so perhaps about 1943. Which would have placed his birth about 1907. He immigrated to America when he was 21, or about 1928. He married Rebecca perhaps one year after coming to America (1929?), she was 22 at the time (which would have placed her birthday about 1907 as well). This would make her about 86 in 1993.
  • In the GK1 novel, Magentia Moonbeam is in hear early forties (but still thinks she's twenty-three). In the game she mentions that she began studying magic over twenty years before.
  • Stephan Horning received a ring from Ludwig II when he was eighteen.[150]
  • 12th century, Cathars in Languedoc. Rittersberg case files go back to the 12th century.[151]
  • 13th century. According to Wolfgang records of the Schattenjägers go back that far, though in GK3, its said that they go back to 900 AD. Minstrel competitions in the Singer's Hall of Wartburg castle.
  • 17th century, tetelo's tribe is decimated. The Ritters go into decline.
  • Eleventh century, earliest Schattenjäger journals in the library.[152]
  • Madame Cazeuneaux is at least 70.
  • 1950's hammer films
  • It took 4 1/2 years for wood carvers to make the panels in Ludwig's bedroom.[153]
