Did Wenceslaus ever claim the title "Holy Roman Emperor"? Srnec 20:00, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
The first man not crowned Emperor by the Pope who called himself Emperor was, I believe, Maximilian I, about a century after Wenceslaus. john k 21:46, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
I'm really confused when it comes to his family tree, as displayed in the article...it says that St. Kinga was his great grandmother, yet her Wikipedia article specifically states that she "never consummated her marriage" and makes no mention that she ever had any children. I haven't been able to find any other mention of her giving birth either. Is the Wikipedia family tree accurate?

In 1389, the nearly entire Jewish community of Prague was wiped out during the "Easter Tumult" in the absence of the king. Returning from Cheb, Wenceslas, who was supposed to protect the life and properties of Bohemian Jews, got hold of parts of the robbery after the massacre.
1) "The nearly entire Jewish community" I presume is intended to mean "almost the entire Jewish population". As it stands, it reads as if almost the entire population was Jewish (and, almost as an aside, was massacred).
2) What robbery?? And what does "got hold of" mean there? He was receiver of stolen goods?!

I located what appears to be a reliable citation for this, which happens to be the website for the city of Prague. They say it happened in 1403, however. I'm unsure whether to list it, as they don't list their source. -- Dulcimerist ( talk) 06:54, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: moved to "Wenceslaus IV of Bohemia". DrKiernan ( talk) 15:55, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
Wenceslaus, King of the Romans →
Wenceslaus IV – Wenceslaus IV was by inheritance and longer Bohemian King not only of Romans, so i suggest this move

=>So in that case i support Wenceslaus IV of Bohemia, because he was king by inheritance and till end of his life. This could be done thanks to Golden Bull of Sicily from 1212 a formal edict confirming hereditary kings title for Czech king and his descendants and they should be exempt from all future obligations to the Holy Roman Empire except for participation in the imperial councils (i think as the only Kingdom in Empire). But still do you have any reason to not support " Wenceslaus of Bohemia and Germany" ? Its same case like for example Vladislaus II of Bohemia and Hungary.

Wenceslaus, King of the Romans → Wenceslaus IV of Bohemia – After "Wenceslaus IV" discussion, was only consensus found on "Wenceslaus IV of Bohemia" so now i am suggesting this sollution. Jirka.h23 ( talk) 10:50, 26 September 2012 (UTC)
