Talk:Torsten Stålhandske

Untitled
The wording "Hence, the nickname" is most likely bollocks. The Stålhandske family was enobled before Torsten was born, though I cannot find a hard source, not being the genealogy buff type. And "glove" is wrong - it should be "gauntlet". // OlofE // 81.233.102.222 (talk) 21:00, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Calendar of Swedish nobility (Svenska adelskalendern 1923 - Sveriges ridderskaps och adels kalender) is online  and lists Stålhandske, ennobled (adlad) 1574, introduced 1622. If I knew this was hard proof the name was set in 1574 I'd change the article to remove the myth part... but I don't. // OlofE — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.233.102.222 (talk) 21:10, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Moreover, that's wrong too. Torsten belonged to another Stålhandske family, the one introduced as No 66, in 1565. Yes, there were two completely distinct families named Stålhandske during the same period. Anyway, at least four generation before Torsten used the same family name; his strength of hands did nothing whatsoever to give him the name but possibly the other way around: the name may have given rise to legends about his hands.
 * Additionally: the image of the glass painting with the family crest is wrong. The crest pictured in that painting is that of the Stålhandske family no 98. The same picture has already been removed from swedish wp for this reason. // OlofE —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.233.102.222 (talk) 15:48, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
