Did Wenceslaus ever claim the title "Holy Roman Emperor"? Srnec 20:00, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
The first man not crowned Emperor by the Pope who called himself Emperor was, I believe, Maximilian I, about a century after Wenceslaus. john k 21:46, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
- Thankyou. I knew of Maximilian, but the article was a bit unclear to me in whether or not he claimed the imperial title but never was legally crowned. Srnec 01:48, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Biography
I removed the following para because of the questions listed below:
In 1389, the nearly entire Jewish community of Prague was wiped out during the "Easter Tumult" in the absence of the king. Returning from Cheb, Wenceslas, who was supposed to protect the life and properties of Bohemian Jews, got hold of parts of the robbery after the massacre.
1) "The nearly entire Jewish community" I presume is intended to mean "almost the entire Jewish population". As it stands, it reads as if almost the entire population was Jewish (and, almost as an aside, was massacred).
2) What robbery?? And what does "got hold of" mean there? He was receiver of stolen goods?!
