"Died" in dates
[edit]I have removed the word "Died" from all the dates of episcopal reigns, for several reasons.
- Up until the 20th century, that the person concerned is dead is obvious, and need not be noted.
- That the person concerned served his term until his death was, down until 1960s, the expected situation. A bishop was "married" to his diocese, until death did them part. "Died" was the default. Other circumstances might be noted: resignation, deposition, transfer. These are not the default, and may need comment and reference.
- The style of dates+Died was copied from a copyrighted self-published web page.
