Talk:Konstantin Dejanović

Son or Daughter
Looking at the history of this article, it seems there's been a protracted disagreement over the gender(s) and name(s) of Constantine's offspring. I don't suppose anyone has a source they can cite? Or is this something where there's no definitive historical record, but two competing hypotheses? The Literate Engineer 02:25, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Hmmm, well, "Konstantin Dragaš" includes also many Serbo-Croatian, German and French articles, and if you count the Dragaš/Dragash varieties together, the difference is rather non-existent. It seems to me that in English, and given the English habit of anglicizing the first name, "Constantine" remains the best option. Constantine  ✍  16:07, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

The article title is confusing and a hinderance to people who just want information on Constantine Dragaš as he is usually known in English and this being the English version of Wikipedia. His name was Constantine Dejanović Dragaš, more usually and mostly known as Constantine Dragaš, but not often as Constantine Dejanović. Middle More Rider (talk) 08:28, 17 May 2020 (UTC)

 * The mother of Konstantin Dragash was Teodora-Evdokija, daughter of King Stefan Dečanski of Serbia by his second wife, Maria Palaiologina. His father was magnate Dejan from Kumanovo region, who served Emperor Stefan Dušan as sevastokrator, and Emperor Uroš V (r. 1355–71) as despot. How did Konstantin Dragash become a Bulgarian?
