[edit] Alfons or Alfonso?

Is he to be called Alfons or Alfonso? He switches from one to another and back during this article. I'd prefer "Alfonso", but that would involve changing the title of the article. qp10qp 12:32, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

And now I've noticed that the article for Alfons's grandson, a later king of Naples, is titled "Alphonso II", who is nonetheless called "Alfonso" throughout the article. So even if "Alfons", in the case of the present article, is justifiable, it is surely inconsistent for his grandson then to be called "Alphonso" in an article title. qp10qp 14:21, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

I support Alfonso throughout both articles and for both titles. It is the most common and recognisable English spelling of the name. Srnec 22:11, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Birthday?

Alfonso's birthday is December 15th 1393 according to "Speculum Astrologiae", vol. i, chart number 705, Lugduni 1583, written by the astrologer Junctinus (Giuntini). This is a very credible source, since astrology was in high regard in the renaissance.

[edit] Alfonso, Pedro and... John ?!

I think there should be at least a minimum of consistency; if the first two brothers' names are written in Spanish - although, being "dynastic" names they really should be "translated", i.e. written in English - then the third brother's name should also be written in Spanish: Juan.

No?

I think so.
