G2G: Need pre-1500 cert to look at this name: Lev I Prince Galicia

Question

Lev I Prince Galicia

This guy shows up in the Data Doctors suggestions (not mine), and I did not know what to make of the name. In any case, I’m not pre-1500 certified. Can someone look at this fella?

Correct. But is the name in the right form? (Cool pic of him in Wikipedia.)

---

Leo is the Latin form. Lev is probably better.

Merged into a "more correct" duplicate (see below). I'm not sure we'll ever agree on "the" correct form.

I didn't know he founded Lviv - that makes a lot of sense. We definitely need to have an alternate form in Glagolitic too.

Answer 2

Should his LNAB actually be Danylovych as found at http://www.encyclopediaofukraine.com/display.asp?linkpath=pages\L\E\LevDanylovych.htm

Comments

Danylovych is a patronymic. We prefer not to use them as LNAB for medieval aristo profiles, though it should definitely be in one of the first/middle name fields, using one spelling or another.

He's a Rurikid. There's no concensus on a LNAB for those, and it will be hard to have one, between those who prefer Anglicized names, those who prefer the original Cyrillic characters, and then should we prefer Rurikovich/Rurikovna depending on gender, or the dynasty name Rurikovichi for everyone. Plus this is a "Ukrainian" branch and they have slightly different letters/spelling. Рю́риковичи seemed to get most support. It's a real can of worms, anyway.

Answer 3

I marked it:

[[Category:European Royals and Aristocrats 742-1499 Project]]

{{Unsourced}}

hopefully, someone from the project will tend to it.

Thank you.

I found a duplicate... also orphaned, so now the two profiles are merged:

Lev Danilovich Rurikovich, King of Galich

I'm not 100% sure the LNAB is exactly the one we want, so I'm a bit sorry the merge went through directly; both profiles were orphaned.
