Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: October 18, 1757 (Swedish church birth records) or October 10, 1757 (SNAC; BnF authorities; Dictionary of Swedish National Biography).
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.
