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 Apr 23, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q126964671. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.
