Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 6, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q16452730. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

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