Reliability Tier3
Tier 3: a crowd-edited Wikipedia article, useful as a starting summary but not independently verified against primary or scholarly sources for this fact. NotesA tertiary encyclopedia source, useful for cross-checking iconography, genealogy and documentary attestations against the primary codices it names; consistent with this atlas's established practice of citing Wikipedia for well-attested, uncontroversial descriptive facts.
