[edit] What was his name ?

What name did he use? Lithuanian Wikipedia lists only "Jurgis Radvila", which is unprobable. His ancestors were using Ruski language, why should he use the Lithuanian?Xx236 10:04, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Surely you are mistaken, you must have meant that his ancestors "mówili po Polsku". Interestingly the Radziwills in their current biographies and interviews acknowledge their Lithuanian ancestries. Dr. Dan 15:19, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

"Jerzy Radziwiłł, zwany w tamtym czasie Jurijem, bowiem na Litwie używano oficjalnie języka ruskiego, urodził się w r. 1480" [1] - wasn't he an ancestor of this Jerzy?Xx236 10:17, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Is this information helpful ?

I found a page at http://www.fiu.edu/~mirandas/bios1583.htm#Radziwill woodfold (talk) 01:01, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Of course this information is useful, but when a source uses "Wilno" for Vilnius, and uses "Lipsk", for Leipzig, and even the controversial "Kraków" for Cracow, on English Wikipedia, one needs to take a closer look at it than usual. Dr. Dan (talk) 02:09, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
