What the archive knows

The family tree places the painter Piero della Francesca (1415–1492) of Sansepolcro in this family, with his father Benedetto and his mother Romana di Perino. Piero's father genuinely was a de' Franceschi of Sansepolcro, so the surname is his. No connection to the Istrian or Carnian family is documented anywhere, and none is claimed here. It is recorded because it is in the tree, and because a Tuscan graft on a Friulian surname is exactly the kind of join this archive exists to catch.

No family is drawn for this name, and no record stands behind it. This archive has not placed it in a household and holds no indexed entry for it — the name reached this project through a chart, a narrative source or the family tree, and everything it does hold is below. The Register is where a record would appear if one turned up.

Identity here is by name, not by resolved individual. Where two people of one name appear in this archive they share this page, and it is for the reader to keep them apart — the surrounding text usually makes it obvious. Nothing here is new evidence; it is the same evidence, brought together.

The surname is not the error. Piero's father genuinely was a de' Franceschi of Sansepolcro; that much is ordinary art history. The error, if it is one, is the join — nothing whatever connects a Tuscan tanner's…

A dossier is every mention of a name anywhere in this archive's data, gathered automatically and linked back to the page it appears on, with what the archive knows about the person set out at the top. **Identity here is by NAME, not by resolved individual**: where two people share a name they share a dossier, and the archive says so rather than guessing. Rebuilt from the roster, so every person the archive can name has a page — including the ones read straight off a register that no index anywhere contains.
