# Talk:Béla I of Hungary

"He also ordered that fairs should only be held on Saturdays, instead of Sundays, in the kingdom", I read somewhere this was an anti-Jewish measure, who could not trade on Saturdays because of religious rules. --Norden1990 (talk) 08:48, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

You are right. Info added based on Berend's work. Thanks. Borsoka (talk) 13:09, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

This was added to list of unusual deaths, but then removed as being unsourced for this as an unusual death. Those more familiar with this biog might be interested. Andy Dingley (talk) 22:23, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

Norden1990, I have not found the reference to the above translation in Kosztolnyik's cited world. On the other hand, the translations of both chronicles cited in this article translates his nickname as "Boxer". Borsoka (talk) 10:50, 9 August 2015 (UTC)

p. 389 (?), proper text: "Bela is being referred to as Bela Pugil (warrior), Bela the Champion", but Hungarian historiographical works also translate Béla's "nicname" as "Bajnok" or "Bölény". I think we don't need for literal translation in this case, "pugil" also means warrior/champion. Especially, the Boxing had disappeared mostly with fall of the Roman Empire and did not appear again until the Modern Era. --Norden1990 (talk) 11:00, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
I did not find the above text. Yes, we do not need a verbatim translation, but the translators of those two chronicles clearly preferred the "Boxing" nickname. Borsoka (talk) 16:38, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
I'm sorry, you did not use this work in the article: Hungary Under the Early Árpáds, 890s to 1063, Kosztolnyik (2002). p. 389. --Norden1990 (talk) 16:47, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
Thanks. It is OK. Borsoka (talk) 16:52, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
