Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “1305”, 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 Jun 24, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q5624. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1305 and 1303.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
