After about 1500 AD (in Europe) the records are sketchy at best. The reason is simple: A lot of kings and nobles would doctor their family history to claim ties that probably weren't there. But from the 1500s on, we have baptismal and marriage data from old churches that seems to be pretty reliable. (There isn't much reason to lie about local peasants being born or married.)

Since we don't know what is true or not, we'll just write down what people said and let people see the source data for themselves.
