After viewing the Thread on MangaHelpers, I decided to compile a timeline of the major events in Nanatsu no Taizai.


 * A long, long time ago, a great ancient war between the Holy Maiden Clan and the Demon Clan occurred, and resulted in the latter being defeated and sealed.
 * 700 years ago, King left the Fairy King's Forest for unknown reasons, and his sister Elaine had to protect the Fountain of Youth all by herself.
 * 20 years ago, the Demon's corpse is discovered by Hendricksen. Meaning that around the same time, Ban met Elaine at the Fairy King's Forest, where the latter was killed.  Ban was later arrested, meaning that sometime around 20-10 years ago, the Seven Deadly Sins was formed.
 * Meliodas and Diane meet for the first time - when Meliodas protects her from a group of knights.
 * Ban goes through a phase of collecting stuffed animals, causing King to get angry.
 * Ban tries to steal Meliodas' sword, causing the latter to leave a permanent scar on his neck.
 * Since Elizabeth is around 16 years old, we can assume that when she was around 1 or 2, she was adopted by King Lyonesse after Meliodas had completely eliminated the Kingdom of Danafor where she originated from.
 * 10 years ago, the Great Holy Knight Zaratras is murdered and the Deadly Sins are accused of trying to stage a coup d'état. They then scatter and remain hidden from public.
 * 5 years ago, Ban grows bored and willingly lets himself get captured by the Weird Fangs.
