Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: January 25, 1627 (Find a Grave; Encyclopædia Britannica Online; BnF authorities; SNAC; Internet Philosophy Ontology project; MacTutor History of Mathematics archive; International Music Score Library Project; Brockhaus Enzyklopädie) or January 25, 1626 (The Peerage).
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.
