 - `Block.fromBlockData(blockData: BlockData = {}, opts?: BlockOptions)`
 - `Block.fromRLPSerializedBlock(serialized: Buffer, opts?: BlockOptions)`
 - `Block.fromValuesArray(values: BlockBuffer, opts?: BlockOptions)`
 
+For `BlockHeader` instantiation analogue factory methods exists, see API docs linked below.

 Instantiation Example:

-Validates the uncles that are in the block, if any. This method throws if they are invalid.
+Throws if invalid.
+
+The rules of uncles are the following:
+Uncle Header is a valid header.
+Uncle Header is an orphan, i.e. it is not one of the headers of the canonical chain.
+Uncle Header has a parentHash which points to the canonical chain. This parentHash is within the last 7 blocks.
+Uncle Header is not already included as uncle in another block.
+Header has at most 2 uncles.
+Header does not count an uncle twice.
