Here's the list:

King Robert I of Geneva (1-38)
The “Dog Duke” (ca 500)
Baron Kargas “Pissaic” Dolmut (ca 600)
Raddan Goss “The Bloody Duke” (805-896)
Baron Calvin (896-927)
Baron Alfred (927-950)
Baron Balfred “the Bald” (950-965)
Baron Alveraz (965-985)
Baron Ra-All “the Wise” (985-995)
Baron Wesely “The Weasel”(995)
Baron Fant (995-1002)
Baron Bakula Andahar (1002-1005)
Baron Uther Andahar (1005-, King from 1014-)

Many of the dates are arbitrary. With Robert I's death, I went with the Company of the Maiden Timeline. As mentioned earlier, I have linked Kargas Dolmut from the ZGG books with Pissaic from the FFC. I did the same thing with Raddan and the Bloody Duke, thus connecting newer material with the original stuff. Raddam is a half-elf with a life span of up to 180 years, so the canon reign of 91 years isn't as crazy as I first thought. For the others I assumed an average of 30 years. For the lesser known Barons, I went with the idea that they were Barons in the same order as they appear in the FFC. That is fairly arbitrary, but in most cases we have nothing else to work with.

Although I don't know this for a fact, I speculate that Bakula (sometimes Bakura) is Uther's father. Bakula was both Baron of Blackmoor and Co-Regent of Vestfold. When he died, Uther became Baron of Blackmoor, and later king of the independent realm.

I have more details on each ruler on the way, but I wanted to get the order of succession ready first.

Thoughts?

I am pretty happy about my decisions to link Raddam Goss of the D20 line with the FFC's "Bloody Duke". Similarly, I like the idea of making Kargas=>Pissaic.

Any thoughts on those?

Of course there are many centuries still where we don't have rulers, but that is not so terribly important as long as we have placed the already named ones into the timeline.
