## Core

- [Home](https://kingsofhistory.com/): Homepage and primary entry point for Kings of History.
- [About](https://kingsofhistory.com/about): Why Kings of History puts every monarchy on one timeline, which tools are genuinely live today, and where the project explicitly falls short of a complete historical record.
- [Contact](https://kingsofhistory.com/contact): Contact information and enquiry options.
- [Interactive Tools](https://kingsofhistory.com/tools): The Rulers Map (pick a year, see who ruled), Comparative Analysis (compare any two rulers), and Fact vs. Fiction (historical film accuracy checks).
- [Sources & Methodology](https://kingsofhistory.com/sources): How ruler entries are chosen and cross-checked against more than one reference, plus a public log of every correction made to the dataset. Read this before citing anything from this site.
- [FAQ](https://kingsofhistory.com/faq): Answers on dataset accuracy, why the map covers six snapshot years rather than a continuous record, what "schematic, not geographic" means for marker positions, and what this site stores about visitors.
- [Who Ruled the World in 1200 AD?](https://kingsofhistory.com/guides/1200): The Rulers Map’s default snapshot, written out as plain text - eleven rulers, from King John’s England to Genghis Khan’s rising Mongol confederation.
- [Global Dynasty Index](https://kingsofhistory.com/dynasty-index): Monarchs by era drawn live from Wikidata across five eras spanning 500-1900 AD, with reign dates, dynasty, family links and names in 11 languages. Community-edited source, not independently verified by this project - unlike the Rulers Map dataset.
- [Every Ruler in the Dataset](https://kingsofhistory.com/rulers): Index of every hand-verified ruler entry, filterable by snapshot year (500, 750, 1200, 1500, 1700, 1900 AD) and world region. Each entry has its own page listing that year’s other rulers and links to primary sources.
