::according to what i read in Polish press, Lithuanian gvt changed borders of districts so region with Polish majority was divided and added to regions with Lithuanian majorities, so in effectc Poles lost representation in local government szopen |
:: But in Poland, if your name is Mauricius, you will have that name in documents, not Mauricjuski, Mauricz or whatever. If you name is Schmidt, you are called Schmidt, not Szmid. While in Lithuania, they add an ending to name - that is, they are changing people's names!szopen |
-- I would like to point, that ,,Polonisation of Lithuania was not effect of state policy, nor it was goal of Union of Lublin, that Jogaila wanted union with Poland as much as Polish lords, that ,,Western Lithuania taken by Poland in 1920 had majority of Poles who in in referendum voted to joining Poland (referendum was boycotted by Lithuanians, but even if it wasn't, that won't change results, and anyway, this article is _BIASED_ szopen from Poland
Before we go further, I would like to point out that the Annales Quedlinburgensis or Annals of Quedlinburg, are not imperial, nor even royal. They are monastic annals. Quedlinburg is a monastery. Remember Matilda, Abbess of Quedlinburg? JHK
Some Polish politicians claim the following problems present. Explanation why they do not hold in square braces
Ethnic minorities are discriminated. The discrimination is in
several areas :
Quedlinburg was the imperial seat of the Ottonians and it also had a monastery H. Jonat
But aren't the Annals from the monastery? That monastery had an important connection to the imperial family (they supplied a series of abbesses), but it is incorrect to call it an 'imperial monastery.' Q. was an imperial residence - it's incorrect to see them as having one seat. And in 1009, Otto was dead.
The imperial belongs to Quedlinburg, but there is no article yet. An Ex president is still a president. H. Jonat
Well, no. 'Imperial' is often loosely applied to monasteries; we don't have to be so careless on Wikipedia. Once imperial does NOT equal always imperial. Under Henry IV imperial patronage shifted very decisively from Quedlinburg and Paderborn to Bamberg. Members of the Saxon dynasty may have remained in charge, but building and art patronage came to a screeching halt. The system by which, for instance, cities became Imperial Cities - a durable title which outlasted the reign of the individual emperor - or ministeriales became Imperial Knights is a much later phenomenon (14th century? Later than my period of expertise). And it doesn't matter who founds it - the name of the institution does not take on the term "Imperial". Bamberg is a nice example. The diocese and its cathedral was founded by Henry IV, but it doesn't really do that well with later imperial patronage. It would be incorrect to call it an 'Imperial Diocese' or 'Imperial Cathedral', despite its foundation. --MichaelTinkler
