The battle

[edit]

As it stands, the Battle section makes very little sense. I would rewrite it myself, but I do not know how the battle played out, and so I am resonably sure that if I do change things around, then it will be inaccurate. If someone who actually knows how the battle went could rewrite the section, it would be splendid. Ourai т с 22:41, 21 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I will try to help, as a Swede I have access to quit a lot information on the battle. Carl Logan 18:56, 22 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Swedish cavalry on the right flank was commanded by General Rehnsköld, the infantry by General Majors Axel Sparre and Arvid Axel Mardefelt. General Rehnsköld was a cavalry officer who was made Field Marshal after the battle. (As written by Franz Bengtsson, The Life Of Karl XII pg.288) Other wise the piece is quite accurate.

Fraustadt or Wschowa?

[edit]

In 1706, when the battle took place, the city was a part of Poland, polish name should be more appropriate then. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.238.231.33 (talk) 11:15, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fraustadt seems to be the most common name in historigraphy. Frost here actually uses it as an example, and prefers the F name to W, too. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me 21:44, 4 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

WP Note

[edit]

I've reviewed this for WP:POLAND and I don't believe it is important enough to be included under that project. Milhist Polish task force is enough. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me 21:44, 4 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
