Talk:Stanislovas Narutavičius
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Lithuanian noble?
Well, he was born in a Polish-Lithuanian (Rzeczypospolita) noble family. Then Lithuania was a poart of Poland...
- Hello Kowalmistrz! Hope we can be friends and cooperate in mutually beneficial editing on WP. Will get back to you on the question of my origins soon. Please try to understand that Lithuania has never been a part of Poland, any more than Poland has ever been a part of Lithuania. They were partners in a union that was supposed to be Equal. Please check what the name in English, Polish, and Lithuanian was (Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth) for this entity. As for Stanislovas Narutavicius, unfortunately he was not born in Poland, and although he was born on Lithuanian territory, neither Poland or Lithuania were independent and theoretically in existence as sovereign states at the time. But enough of the history lesson. This whole concept of "Polish-Lithuanian" is something that needs to be looked into, as it seems to be bogus, and in need of evaluation. Are we to consider someone born in Krakow in 1645, to be Polish-Lithuanian on the basis that they were born in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth? I think not. But this seems to be the logic being applied to too many Lithuanian personalities by some on WP. Look forward to working this out with you, and any others with open and fairminded thought processes.
