Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: June 27, 1682 (Brockhaus Enzyklopädie; Dictionary of Swedish National Biography; Nationalencyklopedin; Encyclopædia Britannica Online; Find a Grave) or June 17, 1682 (The Peerage).
The main date retains its own sources. These alternatives overlap neither all other statements nor the main date. Rank is Wikidata editorial priority, not proof.
