message: Is there any relationship between Eurasian Avars  and their ruler "Bayan" that were forced out from Pannonia?
"Avars were driven westward when the Gokturks defeated the Hephthalites in the 550s and the 560s. They entered Europe in the sixth century and, having been bought off by the Eastern Emperor Justinian I, pushed north into Germany (as Attila the Hun had done a century before).
Finding the country unsuited to their nomadic lifestyle (and the Franks stern opponents), they turned their attention to the Pannonian plain, which was then being contested by two Germanic tribes, the Lombards and the Gepids. Siding with the Lombards, they destroyed the Gepids in 567 and established a state in the Danube River area. Their harassment soon (ca. 568) forced the Lombards into northern Italy, a migration that marked the last Germanic migration in the Migrations Period. The Avar leader from c. 565 to c. 600 was called Bayan."
That theory can't be taken seriously. Fulcher 07:41, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

message: What all is needed to be merged from Bavaria here? Are there any editors keeping a lookout for this page who'd be willing to help? xCentaur |  talk   20:27, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the images from Bavaria#Historical_Buildings would be better off here. I could be wrong, but that article is quite long and the gallery is rather large.  --Grimhelm 20:34, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Looking at it and the Bavaria page, this one doesn't need a cleanup any more. It is a long history well told. Maybe the historical buildings are worthy of their own page, with links to this one and Bavaria?Red Hurley 18:03, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

message: It is rather unfortunate that we do not seem to have any articles dealing with former states called "Bavaria" prior to the creation of the kingdom of Bavaria in 1805.  Electorate of Bavaria redirects here, while Duchy of Bavaria redirects to List of rulers of Bavaria.  This seems wrong to me.  Both are deserving of their own articles, or perhaps of one article called Duchy of Bavaria which deals with both.  Notice that in a somewhat comparable case we have Duchy of Saxony, Saxe-Wittenberg, Margraviate of Meissen, Electorate of Saxony, and Kingdom of Saxony, rather than just expecting Saxony, History of Saxony, and List of rulers of Saxony to do all the work.  Shouldn't we do the same for Bavaria?  Such articles would serve a different purpose from History of Bavaria.  This article should serve to give an overview of Bavarian history from its beginnings.  Articles on specific states would allow for discussions of the peculiarities of each, and allow for a greater focus on constitutional issues that don't fit well into a chronological narrative.  Thoughts? john k (talk) 00:58, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: I've attempted to create an article for Electorate of Bavaria.  It is mostly just a copy and paste of the parts of the history section of this article dealing with the 17th and 18th centuries, but I also attempted brief "geography" and "dignities" sections, to use the former state template appropriately, and to give an introduction which explains the basic facts about the state.  john k (talk) 17:16, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
