Image

Hi, I changed the picture to a miniature of the king from the Chronicon Pictum, a 14th century text. I think it has value due to its age. The bust was a little far away to serve as the ideal main picture, I think, but I think it certainly could be added elsewhere in the article. Additionally, there's another miniature of the divine coronation:

Good idea, I also planned to replace it with another picture. The old one was too modern for me ;). How about a picture of Oradea's Ladislaus statue? --fz22 17:24, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, how about editing the horrible grammar mistakes in the text? Some of the sentences are incomprehensible too! I've tried to root out some but got bored, partially due to those obfuscatory utterances. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.66.110.117 (talk) 21:16, 14 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment

I bumped this article back to a start class (it was rated A-class). This article needs a stronger lead that makes the importance of the saint clear, to be divided into sections, the use of more references and sources, a couple of quality external links, and in-text citations. (note: a B-class article should have at least one high-quality source, this article has none). Please see the Saints quality scale and assessment page for some of the characteristics of A-class articles, and suggestions for improvement.

Miskolc-Bükkszentlászló

On the Bükkszentlászló page:

In 1940 the village took the name Bükkszentlászló, which refers to the Bükk mountains and to King Ladislaus I, the patron saint of the village's church.

Where to include this information on the page for Ladislaus I? Perhaps under Legacy, or a new heading, Commemmoration? -- Deborahjay (talk) 12:29, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Legacy - the symbolic meaning of the battle axe

The mythological interpretation of the Saint Ladislaus legend mentions that several scenes of the legend occour on archeological finds from all over Eurasia. One among them is the wrestling ''without arms: the saint himself does not carry a battle-axe, it is wielded by the maiden he rescues. It is notable, that both the saint and the maiden are depicted in silver, symbolising the moon, thus the crescent-shaped battle axe is a moon symbol as well: it does not appear out of thin air, the maiden uses the powerof the moon she is associeted with. This theory is based on the frescos, further details are to be found in the works of Gyula László and Géza Nagy. I will look up the exact sources and the details if the editors find the question worthy to mention.
