Just figured out I could watch what people comment this way. Long time passed so I forgot what this was about. I have to dig up the family tree I've made, I researched quite a lot about witcher material back then, tried to make a coherent synchronistic table of rulers of the north and came up with interesting results. As far as I'm concerned Dynastic descriptions are the closes thing to canon outside of the books that we have and outrank the game material since it came from the author directly and shouldn't be disregarded. If we are putting persons from the games only as canon we might as well put those from dynastic descriptions as canon.

It is unfortunate there are at least two major errors that make the entire thing difficult to assemble without at least one adjustment. As far as I remember the biggest problem was Age of Adalia, supposedly 95 at death, Ciri's great grandmother is very problematic and messes up the entire thing because Crach said she was already dead at least by the time Yennefer visits Skellige in 1267 and probably dead even before Calanthe, her advanced age moves the entire family tree downwards and rulers don't line up anymore, if tweaked a bit (say 95 being a typo for 65) it could work though, based on Adela's birth year Falka's rebellion can fall either in 1150s or 1130s). As for Bendas it also depends, if you put the Falka's rebellion in 1130s then there are definately two Bendas, if you put it in 1150s you could work it out with one albeit having children at advanced age ( I still prefer having two Bendas so I can have a full Kaedweni lineage ;) ).

The entire point of the family tree in the books, though is that Ciri descends both from Falka and Riannon which many people don't seem to notice, entire segment and constant references to Falka are pointless without that and the clue is even in the beginning letters of names of the triplets (Adela and Amavet begin with "A" hint that they are truly twins, Fionna begins with an "F" like her mother Falka). As a historian in real life I really like fictional history and solving the problem of sources and dynastic connections since I do it in real life, currently more interested in Thedas since I recently got hooked on Dragon age, but can always return to witcher to discuss anything ;).
