Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier2
Encyclopaedia Britannica's own editorially reviewed biographical entry, a general reference encyclopedia with subject expert review rather than a peer reviewed scholarly monograph, hence the middle tier. NotesA general-audience reference encyclopedia with an editorial staff and a long institutional record for accuracy, though its entries carry no named specialist author and cite no footnotes of their own. Solid for uncontested biographical facts, not a substitute for a dedicated historical monograph on a contested point.
