• Rationale for Slavic name:
  • Duchy belonged to Czech speaking Bohemia (official language was Czech)
  • no proof of Germanization - he was multilingual - Latin was used in the Church, Czech/Polish for communication with the King and Archbishop and with part of population, German for communication with part of population. --Yopie (talk) 14:04, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
