[edit] Pelayo
I have to say that I Chose to write "an Asturian nobleman" at the fist time mainly because there's no Contemporary sources about Pelayo, and as far I know all The Christian Sources are dated between The X's and The XI's Century, the Muslim Sources at the other hand try to diminish the role and the origin of Pelayo.
This lack of objective sources generated a lot of doubts about the true origin of Pelayo, in matter of facts there is a lot Sources that indicated that he has an Asturian, Galician, or even a Cantabrian origin. At the Other hand we have an well known legend about a his Visigothic origin justified 'cause in that case the Asturian Kingdom represent the continuity of the Visigothic Kingdom.
For that reason I chose to write "an Asturian nobleman" because that is a real fact, he created the noble house of the Asturian Kingdom and He is "per se" an Asturian nobleman. Jfreyre 00:22, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
- How can the founder of an Asturian principality already be an "Asturian" and a "an Asturian nobleman" at that? If Pelayo was a nobleman—and any Asturian enthusiast will vehemently agree—what is he a nobleman of? "Pelayo was a nobleman of high birth in the Visigothic kingdom that held power in Hispania..." begins the Wikipedia article on Pelayo, and that is accurate. This is a combination of basic logic and the level of history one has to master in order to advance to eighth grade. This is a thoughtless waste of my time. Just stop it. --Wetman 08:30, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Reverts
I don't think that we have to change all the structure of this an other articles, and I don't think that we have to CHange the template. Jfreyre
[edit] Rename
Shouldn't this be renamed to History of Spanish Galicia or History of Galicia (Spain)? As you can see, the Galicia_(Central_Europe)#History is long enough to deserve its own subarticle about history, so History of Galicia should be a disambig.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 01:42, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
