Incompatible birth dates

Sources disagree: in 1612 (Nationalencyklopedin; SNAC; MAK; Great Norwegian Encyclopedia; www.poetryfoundation.org; datos.bne.es) or in 1613 (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.
