Talk:Adalbert of Prague

message: the present text says St Adalbert attended the St. Adalbert Elementary School in Elmhurst (New York) I would suspect somebody is making fun of all of us. Is there someone that can retrace this edit?Mikils (talk) 21:16, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

message: The line:
  This investment perfectly paid off.
is not clear. How did buying the body of the dead missionary pay off? I understand that the saint's tomb became an important pilgrimage, and even had political repurcussions, but this sentence does not make any of that clear. -Willmcw 07:06, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Repayment?

message: :The Adalbert of Prague article states that Boleslaw II had several members of Adalbert's family murdered, yet Boleslaw I sent soldiers to protect Adalbert in his mission to Prussia. Is this correct? -- Beobach972 17:35, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: In fact, they were related. Boleslav II was uncle of Boleslav I (Beleslav's Chrobry's mother, Doubravka of Bohemia, was sister of Boleslav the Pious) ;). But they've got different kingdoms, and different interests. Radomil talk 19:55, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh, related Boleslaws! :p ... but yeah, as long as they're not father and son living in the same castle, which would have made their antithetical attitudes towards Adalbert quite interesting (although, I suppose, not too unusual, given the goings-on of that time period). -- Beobach972 21:12, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Weirdness with Boleslaws 

message: The story about Strachkvas taking over the bishop's office and dying in consequence first comes in Cosmas's Chronicle, more than one hundred years later, and is highly doubted. 
If Adalbert did baptize Hungarians, is highly doubted as well. There is no clear evidence for it, and the relevant passage in Vita by Bruno seems to be added later.
Can you please clarify the issue with this first Adalbert's Vita from Aachen, previous to Canaparius? I never heard about it before. To my knowledge, Karwasinska's work was the latest profound study on the subject, and she's assuming it was really Canaparius who composed the first Vita.

thread_title:  Too few references 

message: I'm afraid this article follows hagiography and nothing else.  For example:
* Adalbert complained of polygamy and idolatry, which still were not unusual among the Czechs. -- nice wording for putting non-believers to death, on a scale that was appalling even in his times.
* despite his desecration of sacred groves, locals merely asked him to leave.  Adalbert's reaction?  He ordered his servants to raze a temple and put out a holy fire.
Compared to standards of that day, Prussians acted extremely kindly, but ultimately, having no other means to deal with a criminal destroying their holy places, put him to death.  And even then, they let Adalbert's servants and co-missionaries go.
Thus, he deserves the name "martyr" about as much as your average Talib bomber. KiloByte (talk) 16:43, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Extreme pro-Christian bias 

message: Under part 1.3 Mission and martyrdom in Prussia.
Paragraph two about the chopping down oak trees, has no citation  connecting Adalbert of Prague to these grotesque allegations?  Jwak1985 (talk) 17:25, 16 November 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mission and martyrdom in Prussia 1.3 

message: I'm not sure where to place this in the article, but several scholars have written that Adalbert of Prague is the most likely author of this hymn which is also the oldest Polish song in exsistence. Please see here. Best.4meter4 (talk) 21:12, 24 July 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Patron saint of Hungary? 

message: The article claims Adalbert "was a White Croatian missionary and Christian saint.", yet the cited source states nothing of the sort, in fact a search on Google books shows that the words Croat or Croatian never once appear in the book. So that part needs to be removed Thhhommmasss (talk) 20:45, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
