Query on the naming of this page:

Various forms of the name had been used in the articles on the Hussite Wars; given the Naming Conventions, should this be "Čeněk von Wartenberg" or "Čeněk of Wartenberg"?

Each part of the name seems to have slight variations:

Čeněk (Appropriate diacriticals for Czech)

Cenek (sans diacriticals)


von (German?)

of (English, but it's not really an English name...)

from (presumably a lit. trans. of the German)

(I haven't seen it, but I believe that 'z' would be the appropriate Czech for this part of the name)


Wartenberg (most common spelling I have seen)

Wartemberk (quite unusual spelling)

Wartenburg (less unusual spelling)

(Again, I assume there's a different Czech spelling of the name of the town, but I haven't come across it)
