To be honest, I’ve just been getting this idea from things other people have said. But in canon (apparently according to the book Harry Potter Film Wizardry), Ignotus Peverell was born in 1214, and I’ve found no evidence that this is different in HPMoR.
Hogwarts, on the other hand, was founded over a thousand years ago according to the Harry Potter books, while in HPMoR it is repeatedly stated to be eight hundred years old.
I was actually under the impression that the Perverells lived before Merlin.
