    [S18] "The Lineage and Ancestry of H.R.H. Prince Charles, Prince of Wales Edinburgh, 1977, by Gerald Paget, Birthdate cited as bef. 1511 although parents' marriage cited 25 May 1512 which leads to conclusion he was born the year before they married.
    [S13] Conclusions Drawn: that he was born out of wedlock, or his birthday is incorrect, or his parents' marriage date of 1512 is incorrect (KSD).

    [S13] Conclusions Drawn: That they were somewhere in their 20s when married so I chose about 1530 for their marriage date; all notes I've seen for dates say "Bef. 1566" which isn't much help at all!
