Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: in 1480 (CONOR.SI; Trove; National Library of Portugal; Alvin; Autoritats UB; LIBRIS; Faceted Application of Subject Terminology) or in 1470 (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.
