Use of Aribert in English version of Wikipedia

edit

The 1st reference here- The Catholic Encyclopedia clearly gives the Archbishop of Milan two names, neither are Aribert and that author cited PABST, De Ariberto II Mediol. primisque medii œvi motibus popularibus (Berlin, 1864); Archivio storico Lombardo, Anno XXIX. See also the biographical sketches of Heribert by ANNONI (Milan, 1872) and by BONFADINI (Milan, 1883). (MICHAEL OTT).

His name in Italian was Ariberto but in French (that was adapted by the English) the name is spelled with an H--Heribert. Since this is an English version of Wikipedia, shouldn't the name spelling be primary with the (correct) Italian spelling secondary? If you are going to use Italian version the spelling is not Aribert but Ariberto. "H" is is silent in French--and adopted by English.

Calling him quarrelsome as this article begins more likely is the a viewpoint of the Sovereign(s) or historians working under that authority. In actuality Heribert as Archbishop took the position of the Church and protested in opposition to unfair practices by the king. The king had used Heribert and his connections to acquire that position and soon after decided to unfairly wield his new power against the church. Heribert's flag- the Carriccio was soon adopted by other churches being run over by the kings- Lombardy, Tuscany and most importantly at Rome-- all supporters of Heribert's opposition to the King. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.224.214.31 (talk) 20:03, 1 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
