He used and signed his name as Christophorus Radziwil

[edit]

Christophorus or Christopher Radziwil should be the name used by Wikipedia, see his signature in a book [1]. Why is Wikipedia featuring him under a Polish name of Krzysztof Mikolaj Radzill ?

Name should be moved to Christopher Radziwil(l) Observing (71.137.195.132 (talk) 17:45, 22 June 2009 (UTC))[reply]

People used to sign their name in Latin. So what? That didn't make them Latins.radek (talk) 18:34, 22 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

So what??? People sign with the name they are known under.

If he signed himself with the tong twister "Krzysztof Mikołaj "the Thunderbolt" Radziwiłł" as you and a few of likeminded people insist on, then please be so kind and enlighten us and post a photo right here

A lot of nobles used latin, which doesn't mean that was their primary language. As Radek noted, they were not Latin. Anyway, that's not his signature, but of Krzysztof Radziwiłł. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 16:01, 24 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I was wandering about the year (1603) and the Christophorus Radziwil signature. The father Christopher Radziwill is said to have died in 1603.

Both, the father and the son were named Christoph Radziwil(l), the father is referred to as Christopher I Radziwill and the son as Christoph II Radziwil(l). Neither persons name is Krzysztof Mikołaj in English, which this is supposed to be an English language Wikipedia, but in many cases it is not.

And what about signatures of the person(s), signed as Krzysztof Mikołaj Radziwiłł and Krzysztof Radziwiłł ??? Observing (71.137.195.132 (talk) 19:04, 25 June 2009 (UTC))[reply]
