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 Jul 6, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q28501890. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference.

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