Is there any agreement on the spelling of names? Why Amalric, not Amaury, and why Henry, which is English?

--Yak 19:22, Mar 10, 2004 (UTC)

Why not? It's the English Wikipedia. Okay, Amalric isn't English, but we've used Amalric I of Jerusalem rather than Amaury or any of the other variations, so we used Amalric II for this one as well...but the others are Anglicized just for convenience, they're not really well-known under any name, so why not use English here? (We don't even use French forms for the French monarchs, Henry IV of France for example.) Adam Bishop 19:27, 10 Mar 2004 (UTC)

[edit] List of Kings of Cyprus

I inserted linebreak to the list of Kings of Cyprus which to my minds eye improved style and readability. Am open to further discussion.Dakota ~ ε °

Um, what are you smoking? [sorry, that was inappropriate of me] The list was automatically line-broken before, as HTML lists are; all you've done is destroy the list style. I'm reverting. Choess 00:33, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

I do not smoke. Used <br> as opposed to *. I don't see that it was destroyed as it still links but have no problems with the revert?--Dakota ~ ε ° 05:48, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Again, I apologize. I was rude and I am sorry. By "destroyed", I mean that your edit removed the bullet points (and, when converted to HTML, the markup indicating that it's a list), but didn't change the linebreaking. Did you mean that the list is more readable without the bullets? The use of bullets is, as far as I can tell, standard for lists in Wikipedia; see Help:List. Choess 06:01, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

No problem. That was a bit of the WikiFairy in me. Thanks for that link which I have bookmarked.--Dakota ~ ε ° 07:45, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] House of Savoy

Did the House of Savoy consistently claim and use this title from Queen Charlotte's death until they actually got a real kingdom in 1713? Did anyone ever recognize them as Kings? Does anybody know? john k 21:01, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

According to [1], it appears to have lapsed after Charlotte's death and been revived in 1632. Velde says that the assumption of the style of "Royal Highness" by the Savoy in 1633 received imperial recognition in 1690. Choess 21:52, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

So the Dukes of Savoy from Victor Amadeus I onwards called themselves Kings of Cyprus, then, and were eventually recognized as such? This should perhaps be noted. john k 22:47, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Peter I of Cyprus

On Peter I of Cyprus it says he ruled from 1358, but on here we have that he ruled from 1359. Does anyone know which is correct. Davewild 19:31, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

I believe it's 1358; Hugh IV resigned the throne about a year before his death. Choess 19:48, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
