Summary/Abstract: Proper names are a very important element of language in every literary work, especially in fantasy novels. They compose a map of reality unknown to the reader but they also tell the story of imagined world. Chrononyms are an example of proper names which appear in fantasy novels. They are names of historical events. Names of wars and battles are often used in books written by Andrzej Sapkowski, Ewa Białołęcka, Anna Brzezińska, Feliks W. Kres and Krzysztof Piskorski. This publication analyses how writers create chrononyms, how similar to real chrononyms names of wars and battles in fantasy books are, and what functions they perform in novels.
