Facts and imagination edit

The only reliable fact we can know about prince Višeslav is his name and title printed in Latin on the stone momument called "Višeslavova krstionica", which is the baptistery found in the 19th century in Venice. By its style we can presume that the baptistery was made in early 9th century. That is only we can know and say about Višeslav. No any serious historian will go further than that. Was it or not was Višeslav Croatian prince, it is doubtfull. The controversy makes the fact that Serbian ruler in that period was also Višeslav (780 - 814) (see the disembiguation)! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Josinj (talkcontribs) 14:52, 3 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

I agree with the above contributor. The entry about Viseslav is, for the most part, mythological. All that is known about Viseslav is that his name is engraved on the baptismal font. Anything beyond that is conjecture. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.121.240.223 (talk) 04:54, 13 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
