I'm curious, but what's the basis for this timeline, exactly?
 
Found this after I put my question in the hub, don't know if you're missing anything though except maybe the two Vikings TV shows
Thanks! Those Vikings shows are a bit too fictionalised to place on a real-world timeline.

Tbf Ragnar's life is just largely fictionalised but you can say that about a lot of history. It'd also hardly the only one on this list that treats god(s) like they're real

Valhalla especially had a lot of good stuff about Cnut's reign and Hardrada
 
Also imo this iniziative would make more Sense if It was some for every country.

Germany, France, Spain, Italy, India, Russia etc...
America's here. One country's output at a time is quite enough. Just looking at World War II, there's been over 180 Russian movies made about it in the last 25 years.
