  Source Conflict Shared Evidence: 099 s0136 is an ordinary contemporary investiture of the emperor's already-married daughter alongside his sons and nephew, not a funeral list; 104 s0034 identifies the same woman and date. Both conditional chronology branches admit this living AD 947 anchor. Her death cannot precede it, but no common upper terminus follows. · Source Dependence: 104 s0034 explicitly quotes Wudai huiyao. Its 追封 is transmission of the same account, not an independent second historical vote. The annal and Songshi supply distinct accounts; no numerical vote or intersection of incompatible chronologies is attempted. · Witnesses: Source: Wudai huiyao, Siku edition, volume 2; quoted in 104 s0034 · Reading: 追封秦國長公主 · Conditional Chronology: If 追封 is read literally as posthumous, death occurred by the honor, not necessarily in its year. Huiyao gives Qianyou 2 month 12, which spans Western 949-950; the matching annal dates the same princess/title/month advancement to AD 950. Even without importing its day, this branch gives only death no later than AD 950. That upper bound is conditional and is not put in the common death container., Source: Jiuwudaishi 102 s0148 · Reading: 永寧公主進封秦國長公主 · Conditional Chronology: Dates advancement in AD 950 but does not itself explicitly date death or say posthumous., Source: Songshi 242 s0496-s0502 and the checked web transcription's immediate Song-period context · Reading: 母漢永甯公主。后幼時隨母入見，周太祖賜冠帔。時偓任華州節度，后隨母歸鎮。孝明后崩，復隨母來賀長春節。 · Conditional Chronology: The retrospective name 周太祖 alone does not prove that the earlier audience followed his accession; its reign placement is contextual, not an explicit date. Independently, the same paragraph narrates maternal accompaniment in the Song period: return to Wo's Huazhou command following the web text's 乾德五年 notice, and a visit for Changchun festival after Xiaoming's death. On the text's natural continuous maternal reference these concern the mother just identified as Han Princess Yongning and support later life incompatible with death by AD 950. No checked passage announces a switch to a stepmother. This remains a source-qualified branch, not an exact maternal event/death year or an assertion that every mother reference must always be biological. · Resolution: No witness selected or emended. Only the independently supported AD 947 lower bound is encoded. The incompatible death-by-honor and later-life implications remain explicitly conditional. Unknown exact death and unselected witness priority do not invalidate this narrower supported assertion.
