Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: December 21, 1804 (Brockhaus Enzyklopädie; Integrated Authority File; BnF authorities; SNAC; Croatian Encyclopedia; Encyclopædia Britannica Online) or December 21, 1803 (Integrated Authority File).
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.
