Changes

I made some small changes, hopefully to encourage some more work on this page. I removed "râpé fritters" from the list of famous regional foods, because I have no idea what this refers to (although sounds potentially very delicious). CapnPrep 12:48, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the merger tag. The current administrative région and the historical province are two distinct things. The current région is much larger than the historical province, as is explained in the article. Hardouin 22:50, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Cross of Lorraine - Unicode at + 2628 and at + 2021 ‡, ( French. Croix de Lorraine or Croix d'Anjou), in Poland called patriarch cross http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Patriarchal_cross, Lithuanian cross or cross of Jagiellons cross http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Jagiellon_dynasty.. Through Cyril and Methodius http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Saints_Cyril_and_Methodius a double cross of Byzantium came to lands of Slovaks and Hungarians. To Lothringen the Cross came when the Great Moravian king Svatopluk I http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Svatopluk_I "passed" it to Zwentibold of Lorraine http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Zwentibold, the godchild of Svatopluk and son of the emperor Arnulf of Carinthia http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Arnulf_of_Carinthia. In Western Europe known as the Cross of Lorraine. In the mid 16th century also known n Spain and Italy as Karawaka. This cross has become famous as miracle defending from death infections, who prayed before it or who worn it. It has reached to Poland from Italy as Karawaka in year 1545 and it was put as reliquary or a stone cross at villages and cities, in order to protect from pestilence. The flag of Slovakia and the Slovak coat of arms both include the cross of Lorraine http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Flag_of_Slovakia. It has found place related with christian cult here and it has appeared on armorial shields in many lands (coat of arms of the Polish king Ludwig the Hungarian http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludwik_W%C4%99gierski, coat of arms of Hungarian Kingdom http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kr%C3%B3lestwo_W%C4%99gier) and towns (Krzeszowice http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kr%C3%B3lestwo_W%C4%99gier, Tołste http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/To%C5%82ste, Monasterzyska http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monasterzyska)

Demonym?

What is the demonym for the REGION, (only) Lorrainian, or (still/also) Lothringian? Or does it only depend on whom you ask, Germanophiles or Francophiles?

With regard to the DUCHY, where this question is much more relevant, I have started a similar discussion on the appropriate page, pls coordinate. Arminden (talk) 13:05, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

What is this article about?

If the topic is the former administrative region of France, then this article needs to be moved to a more appropriate name. If it is about Lorraine as a whole, then most of the content and all the maps are straight up wrong... 2A02:2788:11C8:637:4FB8:9C11:F79:1D31 (talk) 08:12, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
