The public source identifies “1136” as year. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around year.
Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “1136”, the useful work is to connect “year” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 23, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q19599. The first chronological checks are 1136.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
