Lois McMaster Bujold:
Where in the timeline of P&D stories does Testimony fall? It must be earlier since the story includes the Princess-Archdivine but other than that I don't know.

Well, I did explicitly give Pen's age -- 27, was it? Might have been 26. A couple of years before Llewen's death, and Pen's mother's. He was 30 when he first reached Cedonia, so must have been ~29 during his year in Lodi/Adria.
For a few more markers, he was 19 when he contracted Des, ~22 when he graduated seminary. 23 - 24, for "Shaman" and "Fox".
