If he put a son in the Neustrian post and one in the Burgundian post, why is there only the listing for one after?--ScottieB 04:23, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Pepin/Pippin
Apples and the Lord of the Rings say Pippin, so does the New Cambridge Medieval History. I take Pepin to be the Frenchified version. The rest of the king names, with the possible exception of Carolingian Lotha[i]r, use Anglo-Germanic versions rather than French ones: Chlothar, not Clotaire; Theuderic, not Thierry; Guntram, not Gontram. I'd much prefer that we use with Pippin, as Pepin is the odd man out in the series. Is it worth opening a request move, or posting a message somewhere to get more input?

 * I am ambivalent, really. I made the moves of Pepin of Heristal and Pepin of Landen because I had requested to have Pippin the Younger moved to Pepin the Short on the basis of ambiguity, since Heristal is also called the Younger. I added the "Pepin" thing because comments on various talk pages seemed imply that people preferred that version and it does seem to be historically more common. There are reference works that employ Clotaire and Thierry, though they are rare. I see a preference for Pippin as nothing more than the product of German influence in those areas of scholarship. "Pepin" is no more Gallicised than Henry.
 * I don't care much either way, as long as all the article titles for these like-named figures (including the Aquitainian kings) are under consistent spellings with alternate spellings (and nicknames) clearly indicated somewhere. Srnec 05:02, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
