March: no!

I hereby suggest to change the headline to Margravate of Moravia. Austria has been a march (German: Mark) thousand years ago. But Moravia in the late Habsburg Empire has been a Margravate (German: Markgrafschaft), not a March. --Johnny3031 (talk) 21:35, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Ehm, you should really learn the history, my friend. Yes, Austria was a march as was any other bordering land of Frankish Empire. The Austrian march (called Bavarian Eastern March or East Mark) was created as a german east march - nearly 200 years after Great Moravia. Moravia was titled margraviate by unfortunate Frederick Barbarossa in 1182. But be carefull by writing evident lies like "thousand years ago" on something like this german province (Austria). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fingon1 (talk • contribs) 13:53, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

March of Moravia → Margraviate of Moravia – More accurate name used by historians and reliable sources far more ( vs. hits in Google Books). Moreover, Moravia wasn't a march (German borderland established due to defence against the Slavs or Magyars) actually. --Iaroslavvs (talk) 17:44, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

Not persuaded. I am even less persuaded by any definition of march which excludes the Earldom of Chester. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 19:22, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

Well, you should take into consideration these 3 points:

1. experts' point of view (see literature listed above in the Google Books result)

2. name of this land/administrative unit in Czech (Markrabství moravské not Marka moravská), German (Markgrafschaft Mähren not Mark Mähren) and Latin (Marchionatus Moraviae not Marca Moraviae) – i.e. original languages

3. fact of dissimilarity of Central Europe against British Isles

This article should not be wrongly named only because the meaning of word "march" to vary in other part of Europe. --Iaroslavvs (talk) 22:11, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

Make that vehemently oppose. We are written in English, not German or Czech; and the meaning of "march" in English is not so limited. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 04:47, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

Support (and alter lead to reflect the change). The main difficulty arises from a few sentences regardding the status of thge area before their were margraves. I do not accept the Chester argument, and the Palatinate of Cheshire was not a marcher lordship anyway, but one of a series of palatinate earldoms donw the Welsh border. These were quite different constitutionally from marcher lordships, as the king's writ did not run in Wales. Anyway, I do not think it appropriate to use definitions relating specifically to the Welsh border to govern the situation in cnetural Europe. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:59, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
