replies: text: On the Wikipedia page for Richard de Clare, her father, Maud's birthdate is given as ca. 1184. Until a reference is found for a more accurate date it might be best, at least for consistency, to use the same date here. Doug (at Wiki) 10:07, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

Talk:John de Sandford

message: I have rendered more vague the relationship to the Bassets.  He is held to be brother of archbishop Fulk de Sandford alias Basset (although the chronology seems wrong, he seems a generation younger), in turn called nephew to Philip Basset, and thus speculated by EB to be an illegitimate son of one of Philip's brothers.  Given that Philip had a sister married to nobleman John de Sandford a much more likely alternative presents itself.  While as original research this is out of place in the article, at least we can tone down the unwarranted speculation of EB. Agricolae (talk) 16:28, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

Talk:John Doukas (sebastokrator)

message: If someone could cite and directly quote a source (in English) that shows that he was in fact the eldest son that would be appreciated.  Thanks! Wjhonson (talk) 01:25, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Eldest son

message: Choniates states that two Byzantine generals, one of whom was John Doukas, led counter attacks from the Byzantine fortified encampment against the Seljuks on the day after the battle. Choniates states that the attacks achieved little, this is not quite the same as a failure or a refusal to obey orders.  Reading between the lines it is likely that the Seljuks just didn't stand and fight and the Byzantines could not pursue too far for fear of ambushes. As far as chasing annoying horse archers away from the encampment the Byzantines achieved a small modicum of success.Urselius (talk) 08:28, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Albert Barnes (theologian)

message: What was Barnes's theology in question for which he was tried?  71.34.46.175
Apparently he denied that any individual man was personally responsible for Adam's sin, and affirmed rather that because of Adam's sin, all men sin (i.e. all men have a nature to sin), and only for their own sins will they be held guilty in the judgment. Considering God's words in Ezekiel (to paraphrase, the fathers shall not be judged for the children's sins, nor the children for the fathers) this isn't entirely untenable...

replies: text: Both 'biblical scholar' and 'pastor' would be correct as descriptions, but if the Old School–New School Controversy could be considered a division over theological issues, would it not also be correct to call Barnes a theologian? - BobKilcoyne (talk) 09:53, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

Talk:John Halgren of Abbeville

message: Why the Anglicised name? The poor chap was French (Jean Algrin d'Abbeville) and wrote almost exclusively in Latin (Iohannes Halgrinus de Abbatisvilla). The fact that Abbeville may have been under 'English' Domination won't wash, either, since the language of the 'English' court was French (I've no idea whether the English controlled Abbeville at the time, btw). I know of no authoritative twentieth-century writers who refer to him with an Anglicised name. Hostiensis (talk) 15:25, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Talk:John I, Count of Hainaut

message: John I of Avesnes makes reference to him defeating and capturing Guy of Dampierre in 1253 at the Battle of West-Capelle. 
Guy of Dampierre, on the other hand, makes reference to his being defeated and captured by John I of Avesnes in 1253 at the Battle of Walcheren.
So which is it? --Calton | Talk 14:50, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: [[Battle of Walcheren]] or [[Battle of West-Capelle]]?

message: The article on John I of Avesnes says ...John and his brother Baldwin undertook to receive imperial recognition of their legitimacy and did so from the Emperor Frederick II in March 1243. Is there details anywhere as to what it took for John I to get his legal rights for inheritance that happened in 1243? What procedure and how often did he have to see Emperor Frederick II before he was intitled to his legal rights? John I of Avesnes died in 1257. John II, his son, ultimately became Count of Hainaut and Count of Holland, through his mother since he ultimately had legal rights to inheritance, in 1299 upon the death of Floris V's son.--Christie the puppy lover (talk) 16:07, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

message: The fr.wikipedia.org article on this subject had some info that is more accurate or detailed, particularly with regard to the date of the official change away from the old alphabet. So I've made changes accordingly. When I originally started this article I was under the impression that the change happened soon after the major change in government in 1984, however it evidently took a bit longer.--A12n (talk) 17:42, 20 November 2016 (UTC)

Talk:John Peckham

message: Most medievalists spell him Pecham these days, as that's how he tended to be spelled contemporaneously and also because it seems to come from Patcham in Sussex (in medieval English, and some accents even today, 'e' can be sounded as 'a') rather than Peckham in what's now London.  (Probably a Victorian misappropriation.) A move for changing it to Pecham?! Katiehawks (talk) 10:37, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: FWIW @Katiehawks I think that is correct. Most of the modern books and papers do seem to prefer Pecham. It looks like "Peckham" was established right that the start as the result of a 1911 Britannia copy and paste. On the downside it would mean a fair amount of fixing around the place.

Talk:Immanuel the Roman

message: This article needs a good cleanup, in particular the lead needs rewriting to tell casual readers why he's important. One specific thing I've noticed - the lead says he died in 1328, but he is categorised as a 1330 death, and the bit about his patron Daniel rather implies that he lasted beyond 1328.

This article uses the word "etc" and I am not sure what additional items go in the list.

thread_title:  The article contradicts itself. 

message: There is no benefit in posting an undated fantasy drawing several centuries younger than his life dates. This is OK for children books, but not encyclopaedias. The editor who uploaded it on Wikimedia had no idea about any details concerning it. The Leonardo-style "portrait" is most certainly not "medieval".
Like in all cases of ancient personalities, unless there is a traditionally accepted physical description or even drawn, painted or sculpted portrait, using modern ones is an infantile attempt to "give them a face". Within Judaism and Islam it's particularly bizarre, as "holy men" usually adhered to and upheld the commandments prohibiting this. Arminden (talk) 08:32, 19 October 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Karma Pakshi, 2nd Karmapa Lama

message: This page has the "WikiProject Biography" tag on it, but it is written in a pretty religious style. At least the page should be structured such that first there is a description of the historical person, and another part describing his role as a religious icon. Of course it's fine to mention all the hokus pokus miracles, who is who's reincarnation and so on, but obviously this is only true to believers, and not every wikipedia reader

Talk:Kaykhusraw I

message: See Talk:Kaykhusraw II for the standard transliteration of the sultan's name in English language academic literature. Aramgar 15:53, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Naming 

message: For several months now, there has been some debate as to which spelling of the sultan’s name is the most appropriate title for this article in English Wikipedia. The spelling current in English language academic literature is “Kaykhusraw.” Some Wikipedia editors prefer the Turkish spelling “Keyhüsrev,” which is understandable given the sultan’s role in Anatolian history and Turkish civilization. Still, “Kaykhusraw” is the form most familiar to readers of English, and Wikipedia Naming Conventions suggest that we use this form. Below is a list of credible English language sources. All use the spelling “Kaykhusraw.” The first two books in the list are the essential English language references for the history of the Seljuks of Rum.
 
:*”Kaykhusraw” Speros Vryonis, The Decline of Medieval Hellenism in Asia Minor and the Process of Islamization from the Eleventh through the Fifteenth Century  (University of California Press, 1971), p. 134.
:*”Kaykhusraw” Claude Cahen, Pre-Ottoman Turkey: A General Survey of the Material and Spiritual Culture and History, c. 1071-1330  (Taplinger Publishing, 1968), p. 111.
:*”Kaykhusraw” Stephen Album, Checklist of Islamic Coins, 2nd edition (1998), p. 62.
:*”Kaykhusraw” The Glory of Byzantium: Art and Culture of the Middle Byzantine Era, A.D. 843-1261, edited by Helen C. Evans and William D Wixom (New York: Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1997), p. 416.
:*”Kaykhusraw” Jonathan Phillips, The Fourth Crusade (Viking, 2004), p. 191. 
:*“Kay-khusraw” The Oxford Dictionary of Byzantium (Oxford University Press, 1991), vol. 2, p. 1117.
The title of this article must remain Kaykhusraw I. The articles Kaykhusraw II and Kaykhusraw III are also affected by this information.  Aramgar 02:44, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Kaykhusraw or Keyhüsrev 

message: Claude Cahen (in "The Formation of Turkey" p 49) says (but without giving any sources) that he was killed when pursuing Byzantine forces led by Theodore Lascaaris near Antioch on the Menderes. The Menderes river is nowhere near Nicaea.
:Kaykhusraw I was killed near Antioch on the Maeander. The Maeander river valley was under the control of the Byzantine successor state called the Empire of Nicaea. This state had its capital at Nicaea and held much of western Anatolia. For the death of Kaykhusraw I at Antioch, I can add the two further sources: George Ostrogorsky, History of the Byzantine State, trans. Joan Hussey (Rutgers University Press, 1969), p. 429; Claude Cahen, Pre-Ottoman Turkey: a general survey of the material and spiritual culture and history c. 1071-1330, trans. J. Jones-Williams (New York: Taplinger, 1968), p. 120.
:On a related topic, there appears to be a serious problem at the article Siege of Nicaea (1210). I can find no evidence for such a siege. The sole reference, a website  associated with an Australian cosplay group , appears to be misinformed. Aramgar (talk) 00:42, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Kirakos Gandzaketsi

message: The original name of the article appears to be Kirakos Gandzaketsi, but was apperently moved here by Pmanderson justifying that the native name (Gandzaketsi) of the historian is not in English use. In majority of literature, including English, his name appears as Kirakos Gandzaketsi, although Kirakos of Gandzak is used selectively sometimes. Take a tour in google...
