Evidence profile

The linked authority identifier is Q64008909. None of the 2 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1982 and 2010.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. 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.
