Yes, I think once qualifiers are enabled you would

Property(head of local government)

Value(Elizabeth I) - Qualifier("1558-1603") - Sources()

There was a discussion about whether qualifiers should have specific
datatypes other than just string, but I think we should only do that if
needed.
Clearly the example that you gave is one where non-string datatypes are
critically important. If you don't know that they're dates, you have no
way of telling when they were in those roles.
