Note
Stuart (1603-1714) is the British dynastic label for nearly the same span, and by this axis's own rule would be the better id; `baroque` is kept because it is what the English-language trade says of a building of this date anywhere in Europe. Jacobean (1603-1625) is a sub-span, not a synonym. Also a style name - see the header.
