Alternate Spellings edit
putting 'brice' and 'bricio' is basically putting the same name down, but in a different language (french, spanish, respectively), therefore not necessary. i dont think he's known in english by those names. and if other language's names are going to be listed, might as well include 'brixius' and 'briccius' (german, dutch, respectively), to be consistent.
- the other 3 wikis' articles also put 'brictius' in parantheses right after bricius's name, stating that's the latin name where this name comes from. maybe english could do the same.
- also, a spanish wiki article says his name is either 'bricio' or 'brito'. either the second one is a typo, or 'britus' (english equivalent) should also be another alternate spelling listed here. this needs research. 4.230.153.20 03:04, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
- Bricius might be the Latin original, but in English as in French it's Brice. Google pulled up 600,000 hits for "St. Brice" to 160 (total) for "St. Bricius", most of which were copies of this page. Moved, and edited per WP:NAME. -LlywelynII (talk) 07:14, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
- After I muffed the spelling just now, checked on the correct Latinate name, St. Brictius. Still 10k to 600k: we should stick with the English name. -LlywelynII (talk) 07:17, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
- Hmm. WP:NCWC suggests calling him "Brice of Tours" (2k) instead of "St. Brice", but he's much better known as St. Brice. Thoughts? - LlywelynII (talk) 07:21, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
Miracle edit
Could someone source the miracle? The Latin version I saw had the miracle being that St. Brice asked the child if he was its father and the baby made a noise that sounded like "No." Where does the story about the coals come from? -LlywelynII (talk) 07:24, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
- Another miracle listed here, in the discussion of St. Siro of Genoa. -LlywelynII (talk) 19:04, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
English Popularity edit
Also, if anyone knows why, please explain Brice's popularity in early medieval England. He's almost like the patron of delinquent children, but he shows up in most of the English calendars of saints' days. -LlywelynII (talk) 07:26, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
