p.240

Quote

1545 (6/28): Rebellion in Tarsh. Provincial government is formed; Prince Phargentes (brother to the lawful king) is declared Provincial Governor. He leads armies to take back Tarsh from rebels

This date, if associated with the first item in the paragraph, contradicts the timelines e.g. on p.141, 175 , 177.

1545 appears to be the date when the Provincial government is formed and Phargentes comes to power. “Rebellion in Tarsh” is too short. It should read “Seven years after the Rebellion in Tarsh”

1545 to 1555 (6/28 to 6/38): Civil war in Tarsh.

Clearly a transcription mistake here. 1445 to 1455 there was civil war in Tarsh, ending with Illaro becoming the Seven Years Sacred King (and twice overcoming his challenger/prospective successor).

Palashee’s reign did not suffer from any uprisings.

This paragraph should be dropped from this list, giving sufficient space to clarify the preceding statement.

It is possible that Phargentes had to deal with other uprisings in the provinces before his brother could muster their forces against Palashee. If that was the case, Tarsh should be amended to “the Provinces”. I somehow doubt that, though – it would have reflected badly on Phargentes if his early years in office brought nothing but tax-devouring unrest in the Provinces his household had taken over (usurped) from the control of the family of Hwarin Dalthippa.

The date of Tarkalor's victory over the Kitori is given as 1560 on p.247 and as 1550 on p.259 (Volsaxiland). History of the Heortling Peoples isn't helpful, giving the date as 15**.
