Talk:House of Lacković

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi I am Peter Lackovic from Slovakia and looking for any informations about our family. If do you have something, please write me email to lackovic@lackovic.sk. THX

[edit] Croatian origin?

The article contradict itself. First it states that the family was a Croatian-Hungarian, but in the later text there is no connection with Croatia. In stead of the text suggests that the family is clearly from an old Hungarian clan.

Yes, I think the article is perhaps a bit Croatian-biased. It is a Hungarian noble family. While they family did rule in Croatia (but not exclusively), it was done during the period when Croatia was in union with Hungary, and ruled by the Hungarian king. Thus they were Hungarian nobles who's power was granted by the Hungarian king. Even if it was over Croatian soil. I'd like to change the article to use the name Lackfi, but that might be perceived by some as switching a Croatian bias for a Hungarian one. I'll check up if there's guidelines for this stuff. --BluePlatypus 10:33, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

The question was raised at Wikipedia:Help desk/Archive 43#POV question re: nationality, but there was no definitive answer. I'm also unsure about keeping it at Lacković given their origin, although any action might be a bit poignant. I've explained it in the article a bit better, at least. --Joy [shallot] 19:32, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

"By origin the Lacković family was Magyar (Hungarian), but since they ruled over the southern regions of the Lands of the Crown of St. Stephen, the Croatian rendition of the surname is commonly used." by Croatians and Serbians etc.

I think in English the name appears as Lackovic when the author's reference is Croatian/Serbian and Lackfi if his reference is Hungarian.

There were several family members that were active in other parts of the Kingdom of Hungary but not in Croatia (Transylvania, Transdanubia, Ruthenia, etc.). The historical record for these would go by Lackfi: Why use Croatian form for a Transylvanian office holder? I support Lackfi or Lackfi/Lacković for the page name.Hollomis 16:28, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kán family origin

The connection between Kán and Lackfi family is in dispute. According to [1], the ancestor of the Lackfi family is László (Lack), sometimes called Kerekegyházi Lack , fl 1323-59. He was the son of Dénes from the clan Hermán/Hermány, not (as previously thought) of László II Kán, the Voivode of Transylvania. [2] Hollomis 16:28, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
