Does the history timeline specify its sources for those dates?
According to the entry on Ruritania in the dictionary of Alberto
Manguel and Gianni Guadalupi, "In 1733 Rudolf III visited the English
court, ..." Hence Ruritania existed at least as early as 1733, and
presumably a good deal earlier. Other references in the article
suggest that Ruritania goes back to the middle ages ("the narrow,
tortuous and picturesque streets of the original town") but do not
specify a date.
