History
real-life facts and fantasy details created by Riyoko
Ikeda make up the wonderful journey of
Berusaiyu no bara.
The
following chronolgy takes into consideration both the real dates in French
and American history of the late seventeenth century (especially the period
from the reign of Louis XV to the French Revolution and its aftermath)
and Riyoko Ikeda invented dates. I should also point out that the dates
listed below which refer to the animated series may not be exact.
If
there are any mistakes or additions to be made, let me know: write!
