Talk:Béla III of Hungary

Untitled

Did he ever call himself "Belo"? but if the alternate names in his subjects' languages are named, then why not Adalbert, the German form, used by many of his ethnic German subjects. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.70.38.242 (talk) 01:17, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

The article says he was granted a duchy by his mother but her article doesn't mention it. On the other hand, the article on his father says that prior to the father's death, he granted an appanage duchy to his son Béla. In that case it appears that the wrong parent is credited in this article. Mikenlesley (talk) 04:23, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for your message. I fixed the problem. Borsoka (talk) 05:07, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

   Pass or Fail:

Conquest of Bosnia, Dalmatia and Syrmia

When did Manuel conquer Bosnia, Dalmatia and Syrmia? The article about Manuel I Komnenos (FA) suggests 1167, but this article (GA) says 1165. Surtsicna (talk) 13:39, 13 February 2022 (UTC)

This article does not say that Manuel conquered these provinces in 1165. The article says that Manuel seized the provinces by bringing Béla/Alexios (the ruler of the three provinces) to his court in 1163. Afterwards, Béla's brother, Stephen III made several attempts to reconquer the three provinces. Borsoka (talk) 15:13, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
