Other places tied to Princess Marina of Greece and Denmark in the record

In each of these, a source puts Princess Marina of Greece and Denmark and the place in the same dated sentence without stating that Princess Marina of Greece and Denmark was there.

How to read this page

Every line above is a dated fact taken from a source, with the sentence it came from and a link back to it. Nothing is inferred, and a gap in the record is not evidence that someone was elsewhere.

A tag says how the fact is carried by its source: documented a structured, explicitly dated record, attested a sentence that states the person was there, mentioned a sentence that ties the person to the place without stating presence.
