Thanks Meph. I updated the places n my posts. I'm going to to use info from other timelines to include in the one I posted here. Making/managing/editing one for every faction would be too much work for one person. Faction leaders can post and manage/edit timelines for their faction in this thread though if they want. Probably it's less messy to do it all in one thread in the end.
There are a few items with dates I could extract from the info page of The Council:
636 AGS / 720 AS King Louis IV orders the disbandment of the Mouvement de Liberation Gaulois, a progressive, unifying, monarchist movement.
637 AGS / 721 AS The more progressive and liberal elements of the MLG, later known as The Council, begin a phase of militant expansion.
711 AGS / 795 AS A popular uprising, secretly backed by The Council, happens on Marne, Champagne. The Gallic Royal Forces lose control over the major cities and retreat to their strongholds.
714 AGS / 798 AS The First Strike at Reims: The Council score their first victory in space against the GRN. The Second Gallic Civil War begins.
717 AGS / 801 AS The Council finally takes over the entirety of Marne.
719 AGS / 803 AS The Council finally takes over the entirety of Champagne.
720 AGS / 804 AS GRN forces try to prevent a combined force of Council, Maquis and Brigand forces advancing in Lorraine towards the minefield, but eventually lose.
725 AGS / 809 AS The Council's forces destroy Bourgon-Jallieu Station in Dauphine. The Massacre at Gap happens: Council forces retreat after a failed attempt to board Gap station, but deal excessive damage to the station and defenders nevertheless.
729 AGS / 813 AS Council forces enter Languedoc and destroy Remoulins Station once giving sufficient time to civilians to leave.
730 AGS / 814 AS Council infiltrators seize controls of Nîmes station, arriving Council forces force local defenders to surrender.
732 AGS / 816 AS Council forces take over Quillan. The Crown closes the core worlds down. At the end of the year a combined fleet of revolutionaries seize Montpellier Station and take control after a week-long battle and many losses. The GRN takes back control over the gate to Dauphine.
733 AGS / 817 AS The Council breached the minefields of Languedoc and Lorraine and constructed Reunion Station at the other side entrance of the Languedoc minefield.
734 AGS / 818 AS The core worlds are open again, the GRN begins their conquest: they flush out Council, Maquis and Brigand forces from Languedoc and defeat Kusari Naval Forces in the Tau Region. Council, Maquis and Brigand forces flee from Languedoc, seek refuge and eventually settle down in Roussillon.
Thank you Durandal and Thyrzul. I'm going to try and adapt Thyrzul's text to the short-sentence present-tense style of the History of Sirius item because I think it makes it easier to read and understand quickly.
I may remove some points later on if the History of Gallia grows to long, because I set the goal that new people can read and understand one history item in less than 2-3 minutes, while doing things like navigating through trade routes on the side.
I tried to get it as short as possible, but it can't be infinitely dense if there are several events happening in a single year. And then again, my source was this, you can compare how condensed my post ended up eventually.
It was good, but it's normal that the more people go over it, the shorter they manage to make it. (I edited a first version into the OP gallia post, but it will probably still change)

+1
While it is nice to see the latest news first, as they are most relevant. I agree with @Mephistoles. It is more natural way of things. And we want the reader to read everything anyway. Maybe add something like: 823 A.S Present to the end.
