Talk:Philip I of Castile

Latest comment: 18 years ago by Glasperlenspiel

I think the correct name for this character is Philip the Fair.

Most sources I have read refer to him as "Philip the Beautiful" and also cite his name in Spanish as "Felipe el bello" (beautiful). Philip the Fair is also a popular variation. The Spanish wikipedia refers to him as "hermoso" which is fairly translated as either "handsome" or "beautiful". I've never seen the 'hermoso' variation before seeing the Spanish Wikipedia. Cf. "Spain and Portugal in the New World" by Lyle N. McAlister (U of Minnesota Press, 1984). glasperlenspiel 22:25, 23 April 2006 (UTC)Reply
