Biographical claims are most persuasive when dates, appointments and relationships can be traced to records created close to the events described. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 21, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q9155679.

Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
