This article needs to be reconcilled with its german version, translated by Google.

There is a disagreement between dates in English and German versions.

And several other language versions as well, I'm leaning towards the 28th being the correct figure, not the 29th.. Need a good source though. --BluePlatypus 23:22, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image layout

What was wrong with the image layout as before (left aligned)? Personally, I preferred it that way and it seems such a insignificant edit to make for no other reason than taste. Srnec 18:22, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Casimir 1 of Poland was surely "King" and not "Duke"?

[edit] King of Germany

Why does someone keep changing that date at which he ceased to be King of Germany? All of his other royal and imperial titles say he was ruler until 1056. It was my understanding that a Holy Roman Emperor was also King of Germany until he died/abdicated. Just because his son was elected as king under Henry III doesn't mean that Henry III was no longer King of Germany. Emperor001 (talk) 14:27, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

I believe it does. Henry IV was crowned king. Henry III remained emperor while his son was king in Germany. This situation happened with Henry III and his father, Conrad II, in the 1030s, leading to some headaches for Conrad (see article). Srnec (talk) 22:52, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Shouldn't this be Heinrich?

Why is this the English form of the name? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.23.146.66 (talk) 06:55, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Given (first) names are typically anglicised in pre-modern contexts. Other languages follow this same general practice: this is Enrique III in Spanish, Enrico III in Italian, and Imre III in Hungarian. Besides Heinrich is modern German and is almost as far from his actual name in his own language (or contemporary Latin) as English. Srnec (talk) 14:46, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
