Notes:
1. Years in parantheses mean that this year is not necesarilly a first or last year of the Emperor’s reign, but a year during which he was reigning.

2. Information in italic is unofficial, i.e. not acknowlegded by Dr. Graeme Worsohn, Imperial Historian in Chief. (Rumours among imperial scholars state that Dr. Worsohn has turned senile lately, though!)

3. In the Warhammer Novels time line Karl-Franz’s father, Emperor Luitpold, dies in 2491 IC which would effectively extend the rule of Karl-Franz I by 11 years! I would say that this must be due to some grave mistake by the authors of the novels, as any bright soul in the Empire knows that Karl-Franz I became Emperor upon his father’s death in 2502 IC.

Another notable thing in the Warhammer Novels is the presence of Karl-Franz's son, Crown Prince Luitpold. According to WN time line, Luitpold was born in 2491. But Karl-Franz I was born in 2477, making him a very young father. Also, given the chance, I would like to ask: What happened to Luitpold, since he isn't mentioned in WFRP at all? (Please, Jack Yeovil, tell us the story!).
One explanation as to what happened to Prince Luitpold is given in A.S. Dawber’s scenario Rotting Lazarous.
