Just a stub to start, mainly to provide a linkup to a great article about him in Polish Wikipedia, which I hope to translate soon. As to the form of the name, Google seems to indicate that Nicolaus Tungen is most commonly used, but we can change it of course if evidence of a better form is provided.

Translation of Polish Wikipedia article is done. Balcer 01:48, 9 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Nice contribution. I think he's written with an ü, which is omitted often in English like the accents in Toruń. Additionaly his family came originally from Tüngen (pl. Bogatynskie), indicated by an of (transl. of german von) in his name. In German there are also slightly different versions of his name. In another article I found, that the chapter elected first Tüngen on 18 march. The candidate of the Polish king came to Warmia, but draw back his claims when Pope Paul II recognised Tüngen, who fled to Riga after the Polish Senate supposed a ban on him. He organised his return from Riga then. Osporowski's nomination is the reason why the Warmians in the treaty of Petrikau insisted that future bishops should be people from Prussia. Should be checked.--Dagox 11:39, 9 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Thanks. Actually, Polish Wiki has a nice set of articles about Bishops of Warmia (pl:Biskupi warmińscy) and hopefully they will all be eventually translated. It would be nice to add some German or English language sources to the bibliography, in order to resolve what the most appropriate spelling of his name is. Using Google I saw Nicolaus Tungen used frequently, but that could just be due to multiplication of Wikipedia mirrors. Balcer 13:43, 9 March 2006 (UTC)Reply
Perhaps I can add some references, but I'd like to have a look on it and for the next three weeks I have to reduce my time in the wikipedia due to professional duties. Thus it will take some time.--Dagox 09:18, 10 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Tüngen edit

Since Tüngen is a place, the title here is correct.--DThomsen8 (talk) 22:16, 8 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
