This is a listing of important events in the Saga of Stranggore. It includes the activities of the player characters, especially stories, as well as major events in the Stonehenge Tribunal and England.
Note: This page is a timeline of fictional events for the fantasy role-playing game Ars Magica. The game is set in a fantastic version of medieval England. Events in the story line of the game have only slight relation to real-world history and should not be considered factual.
When editing this page, list seasons in reverse chronological order so the most recent events appear at the top of the list.
For each season, first list major historical events (wars, droughts, coronations) if there are any. Most years, there won't be. Next, add links to any stories that occurred. Finally list the publicly-known activities of the player characters.

Summer 1194
Spontaneous celebrations broke out across England as good King Richard returned from Crusade, putting an end to five years of misrule by his rebellious brother John.
Three young magi were invited to the covenant of Stranggore.

Exceptional service to the covenant may prompt the council to admit a member earlier than that. Each newcomer is provided with lab space and equipment.
- Hywel Mawr passed his Gauntlet and moved to Stranggore and arrived mid-season, too late to do anything else.
