| - The KQ4 Timeline utilizes the dates from KQ4 manual (This is the legend of King's Quest...). It also includes some of the references given in the official games, official books, official manuals, and official strategy guides. It attempts to maintain all references made in the games themselves above other material. Note: if KQ2 marriage date in the companion is ignored, this timeline more or less fits on top of the Anniversary timeline (version of the companion timelines) fairly well (placing the twins birthdate about five years after KQ1, and placing KQ6 at 25 years after KQ1).
- Timeline that utilizes the dates from KQ4 manual. It also includes references to periods of time between events, given in the official games, official books, official manuals, and official strategy guides. GC standing for Graham's Coronation. This dating system was chosen to represent the official timeline due to a couple of sources that based the amount of time that passed off anniversary of when King Graham became king. KQ2, KQ4, and KQ6 manuals/hintguides make reference to such anniversaries.

| - The KQ4 Timeline utilizes the dates from KQ4 manual (This is the legend of King's Quest...). It also includes some of the references given in the official games, official books, official manuals, and official strategy guides. It attempts to maintain all references made in the games themselves above other material. In particular the main references that differ from other sources is the date of when Graham married Valanice (3 years after KQ1, rather than one year) and when the twins were born to them (2 years after KQ1). These differ from the later KQ5 timeline and alternative references in the OT timeline and the Anniversary timeline. The KQ4 manual differs somewhat from other sources, in that it places Edward's death about one week after Graham's coronation (other sources place his death shortly before his coronation, or at least the same night). The manual also places the founding of Daventry a few thousand years before KQ1 (KQC implies it could have been as early as a thousand years before KQV). Note: if KQ2 marriage date in the companion is ignored, this timeline more or less fits on top of the Anniversary timeline (version of the companion timelines) fairly well (placing the twins birthdate about five years after KQ1, and placing KQ6 at 25 years after KQ1). Assuming Graham was 19 at the time of KQ1 as its stated in sources by Lorelei Shannon, he would be 42 at the time of KQ3/4.
- Timeline that utilizes the dates from KQ4 manual. It also includes references to periods of time between events, given in the official games, official books, official manuals, and official strategy guides. GC standing for Graham's Coronation. This dating system was chosen to represent the official timeline due to a couple of sources that based the amount of time that passed off anniversary of when King Graham became king. KQ2, KQ4, and KQ6 manuals/hintguides make reference to such anniversaries. GC and BGC are unofficial designations for the dates starting with KQ1, and references to events before KQ1. BPB stands for Before Princeless Bride, and designates different calender used in Eldritch do to time flowing at a different rate than in the world of Daventry. It should also be noted that these are mainly approximate dates, since there is no way to know specific years or the months that events took place in. There are only references to how much time passes between each event, and a few references to which season the event took place during. Tombstones in KQ4 give specific years and dates as well. However, according to the King's Quest Companion these are said to be graves from the Other World (Earth), and therefore do not correspond to dates within the world of Daventry itself (at least from King's Quest Companion perspective). Note there are a few inconsistencies between the various sources on the placement of certain events, so this timeline is not perfect, see 'inconsistent sources'. This timeline is roughly placed on the frame of the King's Quest Companion's internal timeline (see Companion timeline), as well as the manuals (with the exception of ignoring the Companion's/KQ2 manual's placement of the events of KQ2), and uses most of the dates from the manuals and in-game. The companion also differs with KQ6 on the date the game takes place in relation to KQV, placing the events one year after KQV, rather than six months. There are actually at least two or three possible official timelines based on the various sources (this version is no more or less authorative than those).
