As I've mentioned in the main page, I consider adding some start dates in the not so distant future and am interested in seeing suggestions for interesting start dates as long as they are related to the following: Byzantine Empire and it's neighbours (Bulgaria, Georgia, Armenia etc.), Holy Land and Crusades, England(and Scotland for dates after 1178), Scandinavia.

Here are a few below that I currently consider

A late 8th century start: It will definitely be after Kanasubigi Sabin has fled to the Byzantine Empire (766) but perhaps also Telerig fled and married to a relative of Empress Eirene ( 777) and even after Rotrude and Emperor Constantine VI is betrothed, but certainly before Rotrude and Emperor Constantine VI's betrothal is broken (788)

a 9th century one, either in early 810s when Krum is Kanasubigi and some fighting within Sigfredingers(Akra in game) in Denmark happen, in 830s after Khurramites have sought refuge in Byzantine Empire or in 850s again for Sigfredingers, either after they fought it out in 854 or while the war still continues.

An early 10th century one certainly before 936. Shortly after the betrothal between Tsar Simeon's daughter and Emperor Constantine VII is arranged (913) or broken or after Tsar Peter is married to Irene Lekapene (November 927)

An early 11th century one when England is under "North Sea Empire" and Bulgars still free or recently subjected (1018).

An early 12th century one with Kipchaks settled in Georgia

Two or three Latin Empire start dates, first during 4th crusade or immediately after the Latin Empire is formed, second somewhere in the mid, third shortly before or after Frankokratia ends.

Several start dates for Second Bulgarian Empire, one for each ruling dynasty
