There seems to be no doubt that the birth, accession, and death dates for Lord Shield Pacal and Lord Chan-Bahlum are correct. Lord Hok's accession date is certain: his birth date, although ambiguous, was probably 9.10.11.17.0, the Initial Series date of the Palace Tablet. His death in all probability occurred after 9.14.8.14.15 and is not recorded in the Palenque inscriptions known at the present time. All we know of Lord Kuk is his accession date, and that he was still in power one katun later. We have no record of his birth nor of his death.
