Timeline Conflicts
Due to the nature of history itself, sometimes dates and events come into conflict. This occurs in Real Life frequently, but this also occurs in The Elder Scrolls lore occasionally, too. The following are some examples where this was the case:
 * 1) A Dance In The Fire states: It seemed as if the palace had always housed the Atrius Building Commission, the company of clerks and estate agents who authored and notarized nearly every construction of any note in the Empire. It had stood for two hundred and fifty years, since the reign of the Emperor Magnus. This would mean he was Emporer in 3E 147, which conflicts with several other reports which state that it was Pelagius III (also known as Pelagius the Mad) at this time.
 * 2) Disputes surrounding the death of Kintrya II
 * 3) Disputes surrounding the date that Uriel Septim III was sworn in as Emporer.
 * 4) Disputes surrounding the date of the Camoron Usurper.
 * 5) Slight dispute about the date that the Mages Guild was created (Fighters Guild disputes the date of the "Guild Act" by one year.
 * 6) Some events are also results of Dragon Breaks. See that page for more details about this.
 * 7) The Wolf Queen, Book Three, states that Pelagius II died in 3E 98, not 3E 99, as is generally believed.
 * 8) Two books claim that Pelagius III (Pelagius the Mad) was born on 314 and 319 in the Third Empire, respectively
