Talk:Jerzy Radziwiłł (1556–1600)

What was his name ?
What name did he use? Lithuanian Wikipedia lists only "Jurgis Radvila", which is unprobable. His ancestors were using Ruski language, why should he use the Lithuanian?Xx236 10:04, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Surely you are mistaken, you must have meant that his ancestors "mówili po Polsku". Interestingly the Radziwills in their current biographies and interviews acknowledge their Lithuanian ancestries. Dr. Dan 15:19, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

"Jerzy Radziwiłł, zwany w tamtym czasie Jurijem, bowiem na Litwie używano oficjalnie języka ruskiego, urodził się w r. 1480" - wasn't he an ancestor of this Jerzy?Xx236 10:17, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Is this information helpful ?
I found a page at http://www.fiu.edu/~mirandas/bios1583.htm#Radziwill woodfold (talk) 01:01, 11 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Of course this information is useful, but when a source uses "Wilno" for Vilnius, and uses "Lipsk", for Leipzig, and even the controversial "Kraków" for Cracow, on English Wikipedia, one needs to take a closer look at it than usual. Dr. Dan (talk) 02:09, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

WORKS section
It is far from clear (1) which is a title in a book; (2) which is a description of what is in a book;  (3) whether a name cited (sometimes only a last name) is an author or an editor. Needs some work. Vicedomino (talk) 07:27, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
