Field notes
The animation adds births, marriages, deaths, and successions over time; keyboard controls can pause or advance events, and clicking a person opens a profile. The author says the family links and marriages were checked against Wikidata, while noting that early dates can be uncertain and that the tree deliberately omits many relatives. Biographies include suggested references such as Wikipedia articles, Wikidata entries, and reference books.
