Name of this person[edit]

I think the name "Enea Silvio" must have been some mistunderstanding in some work of the 20th century that since has been perpetuated in mainly English literature (according to a Google Book Search). In all older books, and most German books (but some very few from recent years, maybe even stemming from Wikipedia reading), the general with this biography is always called "Johann Norbert Piccolomini" or, in Italian, "Giovanni Norberto Piccolomini". --Anvilaquarius (talk) 18:42, 12 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
