Aase and Matilda over time

Aase and Matilda appear together in 1 published list, across 11 years of shared records. Matilda held the stronger position in more years in 1 of them, Aase in 0.

The order between them changed and held in one of those lists — a change in that published list, never a claim that one name displaced the other.

Counted list by list. Two names in the same published list are measured on the same scale in the same year, so those comparisons are real — but positions from different lists are not, so nothing here is combined into an overall standing.
