Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: February 7, 1102 (Kindred Britain; WikiTree; Find a Grave; Oxford Dictionary of National Biography; A historical dictionary of British women) or in February 1102 (Genealogics) or in August 1102 (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.
