Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: September 23, 1596 (SNAC; RKDartists; Integrated Authority File; BnF authorities) or in 1599 (Alvin).
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.
