# Talk:Béla IV of Hungary

Why are Bela IV and succeeding Hungarian kings called the kings of Serbia in the table beneath? In fact they were kings of Croatia, not Serbia.--Muarrih (talk) 17:17, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

Because of the title. --SavoRastko (talk) 22:03, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

This part has been deleted, but should be put somewhere (probably into an article about the woman in question):

Her daughter, Margaret (Margit) (1242–1270) mostly lived on Margaret Island, which was later named after her. She was canonized in 1943.

I haven't seen any mention of a daughter, known alternately as Jolenta, Yolande, Helen, or Ilona, a.k.a. "St. ~ of Hungary" or "St. ~ of Poland". She was wife to Boleslaus of Greater Poland, and recently canonized by John-Paul II. Anyone have any [reliable] info on her?SigPig 03:38, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
Ooops, my bad, I was confusing her with Kunegunde. She's still "Blessed". SigPig 03:57, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

As the official language of the Kingdom of Hungary was Latin until 1867 [1], using Hungarian names for cities etc. before this date is anachronistic. Since the Latin name that was used at the time can scarcely be found, we should list all the places with their modern names.Wladthemlat (talk) 16:37, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

Only some nobles and clergy could speak Latin - the common language of the people was of course Magyar. HammerFilmFan (talk) 07:06, 4 October 2012 (UTC)
Don't forget, that medieval Hungary was multiethnical state, and that there were many other languages spoken.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Lukáč Peter (talk • contribs) 13:35, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

On the Page 321 - is not Sabina or Szabina
On Page 531 is a person with the name: Moyz as he wer a saracen person.
BUT!!!: On the Page 686 is the information:
--IV Bela hasn't got a dauther with the name Sabina.
-- the citat  of this page:
Page 686 / 801
^**' .....
" A Vita s Kingae said also (Mon. Pol. IV. 684.) IV Bela has only six  — means adult girl — dauchter.
About Erzsebet  W. III. 205.
Our writers are thinkin that  IV. Bela had yet a dauter named "Sabina",
They are thinkinig that this woman was the wife of the  II. Majs Palatine .
IV. László's document (CD. V/3. 78.) tsoror nostra carissima> must not means ount.
In the origin decument  (DL. 1092.)is not the name " Sabina ";
This name has someone wiseacre person  arbitrarily push in it when he . descripted it.
II. Majs wife's name  was Erzsébet (Nyelvemléktár VII. 6ö.);
Majs daughter , was 44 year old when she in year  1276 about the holiness of Szent Margit confissed, that means she was born in year 1232 (u. o. 5ö.).
If we presuppose that Masjs daughter were from an other wife, then she cannot to be dauter of  IV Bela, becose the IV Bela was in year 1932 same 26 year old.
Wertner M. has also good thinking, that he wife of II. Majs can not to be the daughter of IV Bela. He writes in her book  (The family History of Arpads) Az  Árpádok családi története 606. s kk. 11., about Sabina, but in this time he can not  to know, that the name  Sabina is a poor  fudge. ...."

I would like to dispute the claim that he was a "clearly Hungarian person" as Hobartimus is claiming in the edit summaries, a brief look at the family tree shows, that he was son of Gertrude of Merania and grandson of Agnes_of_Antioch, therefore this claim is mistaken. Not to mention that no nation in the modern (and German) sense of the word existed in the 13th century. Wladthemlat (talk) 15:05, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

He was a direct descendent of Árpád, I don't know how could anyone get more Hungarian than that and being the legitimate King of Hungary, and 'second founder of Hungary' also I would think help him a little. Of course in the context being Hungarian it's not really a blood related thing (where you have to have certain % of ancestors, that's another system...) but more of a common sense circumstance as well. But I guess that phrasing depends somewhat on good faith (meaning reasonable people wouldn't start questioning clearly Slovak, or Hungarian persons, would make  them fit the definition of "clearly". So if you want to dispute it, you can of course, in that case, or if he was a clearly Slovak person the order would change to Slovakname (Hungarianname) at the first occurance and Slovakname the following times a name appears. Hobartimus (talk) 17:49, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

Bela could only lead a "small army" at Mohi??  NOPE.  The combined Cuman-Hungarian force was quite large and was almost wiped out to the last man. Also, the Mongols left the area because Batu and Subedai had to attend the kuraltai that was called in Mongolia following the death of the Great Khan Ogedai; to think that they were militarily defeated is complete nonsense.  The Mongols devastated Hungary and that part of the Balkans that they entered.  They were about to take Vienna when the word arrived that they had to return to Mongolia. I'll correct these problems in the article later in the week via Reliable Sources. HammerFilmFan (talk) 15:14, 28 August 2011 (UTC) HammerFilmFan

I remember someone asking for a translation of the inscription:

Behold something dear: Three surround the altar of the Virgin:
A king, a duke and a queen. Let threefold joys be with them.
While it was granted, while your sway, King Béla, was strong,
Fraud hid away, peace was firm, integrity reigned.
The meter of the Latin text is hexametric, with internal rhymes. Feel free to polish up my translation and insert it in the article if appropriate. Dumbox (talk) 08:17, 14 December 2013 (UTC)
