Talk:Henry of Bresslau

Earlier article:

Henry of Bresslau is recorded in the Codex Manesse or Grosse Heidelberger Liederhandschrift , a book containing poems by famous German poets and rulers of the 12st and 13st century. This book contains illustrations and it shows duke Henry IV (- 1290) of Schlesien Bresslau as Heinrich von Pressela displaying the Silesian eagle.

This has to be among the the worst of H Jonat's "contributions" to date: no header ordinal, no title, can't even spell the place (Henry the what of Breslau?); it doen't even mention his having been senior prince of Poland (the nearest thing to a head of state of the whole country in 1138-1320 in the absence of a king), a rather more important matter than his having once written some poetry.

It's quite obvious that the writer has never heard of the subject before and knows nothing about him other than one obscure occurence of his name. So why even attempt to write such an abysmal article about a well-known ruler without the slightest effort to find out about him (in fact most of it is about the book)? And why is the form "Heinrich von Pressela" ("Henry of Breslau", already referred to in both heading and article) so worthy of particular note? David Parker
