Talk:Tancred of Conversano

Srnec hi. You introduced:

Implausible date

"Tancred of Conversano, the youngest son of Geoffrey, Count of Conversano, became the count of Brindisi on his father's death (sometime after 1085)."

That's highly unlikely, since his father only died in 1100. Where does this early 1085 date come from? Could you pls verify, and if needed correct? Thanks. Arminden (talk) 13:01, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

It comes from the early version of his father's article, which places his death no more precisely than "after 1085". I don't know why; his father's article has long been corrected to be more precise. (September 1100 comes from Lupus Protospatharius. The Dizionario biografico article from 2001 accepts it, but this Coniglio paper from 1976 rejects it, citing a charter from 1104 as showing Geoffrey still alive at that date.)
