Гольша, адзін з сыноў літоўскага князя Ромунта

Is this info from belarussian wiki reliable? "Заснавальнікам паселішча, паводле легенды, быў Гольша, адзін з сыноў літоўскага князя Ромунта. Ад Гольшы пачаўся род Гальшанскіх." Is info about lithuanian duke really a legend or a historical fact? --Doopdoop (talk) 12:51, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Could you translate the text in question? --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 14:46, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure about correct form of names, but the first sentence is "According to the legend, founder of the settlement was Golsha ( )(??), one of the sons of lithuanian dukes Romuntas(??)." --Doopdoop (talk) 15:27, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the same thing is on the pl wiki - Holsza, son of Romunt, founder of the Olszańscy family. It is however clearly noted it is a legend. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 19:47, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As lithuanians were a pagan folk who did not keep their chronicles in these days it is hard to say how the things were. Alšia (let's use lithuanian form of the name) is presumed to be a brother of one of the documented lithuanian rulers, Traidenis. So it is neither a historical fact nor legend. It is an unproved theory. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.191.134.11 (talk) 12:16, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
