Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: March 4, 1564 (IMDb; Internet Speculative Fiction Database; NooSFere) or February 16, 1564 (Concise Literary Encyclopedia; BnF authorities).
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.
