Shouldn't the title be "Conrad I of Germany", in accordance of naming conventions? Seeing as he was "King of the Germans", and first of them named "Conrad"...simply saying "Conrad of Franconia" seems somewhat indignant of the man's achievements. -Alex 12.220.157.93 01:27, 23 January 2006 (UTC).
Konrad actually was king of East Franconia; the terminology "king of the Germans" only appeared with his successor Henry I (the Fowler). Konrad was a Franconian, the last in a long row of Frankish kings that began with Charlemagne, while Henry was a Saxon; this seems to have been one of the reasons for this choice of a "new" designation.Cosal 03:13, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
- I moved the page to "Conrad I of Germany" and rewrote the opening. I hope it is evident in the article why I moved the article. Srnec 22:39, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
