Notes
- ↑ In our world, Christian scholars generally place Jesus' birth between 6 to 4 BC.
- ↑ In our world, Christian scholars generally believe Jesus' crucifixion happened in either the year 30 or 33.
- ↑ This date seems to come from Bede the Venerable's Ecclesiastical History of the English People.
- ↑ In our world, Muhammad only began to preach publicly some three years later after his first revelation, circa 613. Further, the first caliphate (イスラム帝国, lit. "Islamic Empire"), the Rashidun Caliphate, was only established after Muhammad's death in 632.
- ↑ The Chronology in Drag-On Dragoon World Inside says the Catholic Church (ローマ教会, lit. "Roman Church") banned religious icons. However, in our world, the veneration of religious icons was actually banned by Byzantine emperor Leo III the Isaurian.
- ↑ In our world, Pope Gregory II summoned a synod in 727 (four years earlier) to condemn iconoclasm.
- ↑ This likely refers to the establishment of the Abbasid Caliphate after the Umayyad Caliphate was overthrown by the Abbasid Revolution in the year 750. The Umayyad prince Abd al-Rahman I fled west and established the independent Emirate of Córdoba in southern Iberia in 756.
- ↑ In our world, the Byzantine Empire collapsed with the fall of Constantinople in 1453.
- ↑ In our world, Louis II was not murdered, and died in the year 875 instead.
