I'm curious, but what's the basis for this timeline, exactly?

...British history?

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

Benedict Cumberbatch plays at least six different roles on here, if that counts? British period drama's half his career.

I don't think the point is fidelity to a shared universe concept

I think it's just cramming as many dramatised documentaries (or equivalent) into a "real world" timeline
