Plantagenet-1635 and Plantagenet-1061 appear to represent the same person because: Plantagenet-1635 originally had Matilda, Lady of the English as her step-mother, must be the same as Plantagenet-1061

Hello,

Current profile information has this person born after their parent's death, which has raised an error in Wikitree's database.

Please can this be investigated with the view to potential correction using sources?

Thank you,
