Talk:Bolko II of Ziębice

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


The name "of Ziębice" is politically non-neutral. I ask authors to provide proof that the name "of Ziębice" was in use before 1945. The article should be moved to Bolko II of Münsterberg which is historically accurate as proven by Polish 19th century references calling him "Bolko na Monsterbergu". It is hightly unlikely that Bolko II would be referred to by the Polish Sambice which predecessed Münsterberg. The name "Ziębice" was created in 1945, as all admit. The fact that Polish historians now call him "of Ziębice" is politically motivated as the post 1945 need was to reclaim as much of history. Bolko II is as much part of German history as of Polish history and in the centuries before 1945, both sides agreed on his title as of "von Münsterberg/na Monsterbergu". --Tino Cannst (talk) 12:24, 12 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Can you show that "of Münsterberg" is used more commonly in English? PS. For the record I am fine with listing German and Czech names in the lead (German: Bolko II. von Münsterberg, Czech: Boleslav II. Minsterberský).
