[edit] dates / noon bell
First of all I have to say, that I'm not a historian. Still, when I was working on this text for a different purpose, I found an obvious mistake in this article. It says... 'He accompanied the monarch to Frankfurt in Sigismund's quest for the Imperial crown in 1410, took an active part in the Hussite Wars in 1420, and in 1437 was sent south to successfully raise the Turkish siege of Semendria...', but the introduction claims that Hunyadi was born in 1407 (hungarian wiki says 1405) only. The german wiki says Hunyadi was born in 138x - then 1410 could be correct, although I doubt he was born in the 14th century already. If 1405 or 1407 is correct, Hunyadi would have been 3 or 5 years old when 'accompaniyng the monarcg' and was 13 or 15 years old at the time of the Hussite Wars. Don't know if people joined the army at this age back then. Considering the date of birth is correct, 1410 is either incorrect or not of importance as Hunyadi couldn't have take part actively. Not sure about the Hussite Wars. EDIT: Hungarian Wikipedia suggests that he entered the army of Sigismund in 1430 only and participated in the Hussite war after that. Makes sense to me. Still no explanation for the events in 1410.
Besides of this, I heard that the story about the noon bell is partly a legend. If I remember correctly, the pope was informed about the victory after he introduced the noon bell although the victory itself took place in time. It could still be that the pope attributed the whole thing to Hunyadi afterwards, so the story would be correct in some ways. I've got this from an hungarian tv show. Maybe someone could find out what's true? 91.14.133.7 (talk) 19:07, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Romanian or Serbian name part
I see that there is again a problem for no apparent reason - If we would just talk I don`t think there would be any problems at all. This is my edit, I just forgot to log in [1]. Since this is a VERY sensitive article there should be no important additions without any solid references to support that claim, as in this case lacks that reference. I see that there is a doubt that Iassiii or whoever put citation needed tags, even if it is Iassiiii, and he is banned, that doesn`t mean that his every edit is wrong. Also I see that some users are "hunting" his sock puppets while ignoring others... Anyway, I have deleted this unsourced addition by the IP editor and if anyone want to add this info I would like to ask him to provide a solid reference for this claim. As I said in the edit summary, Slavic and Latin names don`t have a lot in common... Greetings to everybody. Adrian (talk) 08:19, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Groom of Ali Beg
UnresolvedSome sources contain information that Hunyadi was in service of Đurađ Branković and Ali Beg from whom he fled and became intimate of the king of Hungary.

I propose to add above mentioned sentence to the article, at the beginning of the Raise of the General section.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 10:48, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
[edit] "White Knight of Wallachia" vs. "White Knight of Hungary"
The nickname "White Knight of Hungary" hasn't enough coverage to be mentioned in the article. There are only 5 Google Books results where it is cited ([2]) while the nickname "White Knight of Wallachia" is used 137 times [3] on Google Books. It is not correct to give equal weight to them (188.24.34.61 (talk) 14:05, 17 August 2011 (UTC))
[edit] János Hunyadi
All other (real) printed encyclopedias in the world call him as János Hunyadi, only wikipedia uses his anglicised "John" Hunyadi name. Isn't it strange? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.204.153.64 (talk) 10:54, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
