Terminology

[edit]

Should "Dutch" be preferred, as an adjective for "Holland", to "Hollandic"? And, is there any reference to the term Friso-Hollandic or Frisian-Hollandic Wars in the English literature? Srnec 17:14, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No, it should not. Holland in this (as in any) sense does not refer to the Netherlands, or Dutch, but as belonging to the county of Holland. As for friso-hollandic I believe I encountered the term in the history of the low countries, I happen to have both versions, Dutch and English, and I believe this was the term used.

The term Friso-Hollandic looks so unusual it might be best if it were referenced. I know that Holland never refers to the Netherlands in their entirety, but does not Dutch refer specifically to Holland and its ancient language? Srnec 17:26, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Forget it. I just read up on it. Srnec 17:27, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think the civil war and later the peasant rebellion are what this article should be about. I moved the latter event into the article Arumer Zwarte Hoop and linked to an article on the former conflict. Str1977 (talk) 09:08, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
