Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Robert de Juilly” as grand Master of the Knights Hospitaller. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA concise reference frame for defining the subject, testing terminology and identifying the institution closest to the evidence. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1377, 1374, 1975—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1400-01-01. The account is most persuasive where Robert, Juilly and Grand can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as grand Master of the Knights Hospitaller. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 31, 2024. The linked authority identifier is Q2035488. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1377, 1374 and 1975.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. 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.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
