As the records give it
Founders
Named as founders
Who the records name as founding it.
What this means
An attribution, usually recorded long afterwards and often contested — not a claim that it began fully formed, or that everyone who belongs to it accepts the attribution. An order, a church or a dynasty named as founder is listed by name rather than drawn: an arch is for a likeness.
Where
Located in
The places its record gives — a location, not a claim about what happened there.
Connections
How Franciscans connects
Grouped by the kind of relationship, because a successor is not a son and a shared symbol is not an influence.
Affiliation 27
What this means
Association with a tradition or school. Traditions branch, overlap and re-merge; this is not a clean single-origin tree.
Does not imply a fixed roster · that every account of the tradition knows this figure · a clean single-origin family tree · that the parent recognises the branch · personal belief at every point in a life · the practice of a population
