I'm still not sure whether it's Borojević or Boroević. It reminds me of Reljković vs. Relković in the case of Matija Antun Relkovic. --Joy [shallot] 14:44, 22 May 2005 (UTC)

actually his full name was Svetozar Boroevic (Borojevic) von Bojna. just like if you look at "Joseph Radetzky von Radetz". the article was actually started under that name, i think it should be put back. Antares911 23:02, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

As I stated on Antares911's talk page already, I don't think that the von Bojna honorific is important or relevant enough to be in the title. It's a mixture of German and Croatian and I think it's sufficient that we describe it in the article content. It's also interesting to note that he had it for the 15 years of his life, but received it when he was 49. --Joy [shallot] 10:54, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

A stupid question: is he really the first "non-German" Austro-Hungarian marshal? He was preceded by Radetzky, a Czech, after all--unless, one thinks the Czech nobility in the 19th Century were really Germanic anyways? --h27kim 2:15, 20 Mar, 2006 (PST).
