Radboud

[edit]

It's Radboud, not Radbod. For some proof, check the website of the university named after him, Radboud University of Nijmegen, The Netherlands. I will change the name of the article accordingly. --Daniel575 01:11, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually his contemporary name was Radbod (like in the Vita Radbodi). Later scholars misinterpreted it as Radbold/Radboud - an end suffix which means quite something different... Whether Radbod or Radboud should be used is another story; i think it 's not unrelated to whether choosing for Clovis or Chlodovech. The latter is historically correct, the first the common known name. Notum-sit (talk) 20:40, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
