To find spikes, dips, or breaks in the time dimension, I need to: 1) Parse Begin_reign into a proper date format, 2) Aggregate reigns by time period (year or month) to see the distribution, 3) Identify notable patterns. Let me first query to understand the date format distribution and convert to dates where possible.",
