Is it possible to set up a random event so that it only triggers within a certain period of time, i.e. 1500-1580?

I will answer that with a tentative yes.
random = yes
date = { year = 1500 }
deathdate = { year = 1580 }
will possibly fire between January 1st, 1500 and January 1st, 1580. I am not sure if it will be guaranteed to fire sometime between those dates, as it is a random event. I am no expert on the whole offset, random, date, deathdate mystery. There are some odd cases...
it's a good question though.

Yes. Every event can have a startdate and a deathdate. Just look at some of the event files and most will have that kind of info in the first event. Copy, paste and edit the dates in European style, ie tomarrow will be 2-1-04 A.D. Hope this helps.
Alright. I knew this worked for normal events but I wasn't sure if it would work for random events as well.
