Беседа:Крайова

"Румънски историци свързват името на града с царуването на Иван Асен I, като някои от тях дори смятат, че Крайова е била столица на неговото царство, което наричат „Румънско-българска империя“."

No serious Romanian historian claims that Ctaiova was the capital of Ivan Asen I. Where have you found such statements? If no reference is given please take out this paragraph.

Всеки румънски учебник по средновековие е извор за това твърдение. Every romanian textbook of medieval history give this reference. --Подпоручикъ 18:12, 14 юли 2009 (UTC)

State one - for the record. Otherwise this is false. References must be given.

The issue is actually presented on the Romanian Wiki as follows: "Controversies and legends regarding the present name of the city

The origin of the present name of the city is subject to many controversies and shrouded in legend. The only certitude is that the name comes from the slavic word "kralj" - king ( crai in archaic Romanian ) . According to some, the name comes from king Iovan (Ioniţă Asan),brother of Petru (Peter) and Asan (Assen) which become for a while emperor of the Vlach-Bulgarian empire. According to the Greek historian Niketas Acominatus Choniates , Ioniţă Asan was forced to take refuge North of Danube at the end of his reign, where he become "Lord over some Vlachs of his kin" . The theory which states that Craiova become capital of a new state Ioniţă Asan founded was supported by researchers such as L. Candea and V. Oghină, but also by local legends about Craioviţa lake and a drown princess (fata craiului înecată)."

My points are: - No serious Romanian historian claims that Craiova was the capital of Ivan Asen I (Ioniţă Asan). Some second hand historians generated theories that Ioniţă Asan found refuge for a while in Craiova - hence the name of the city. No proofs besides the quoted phrase of Niketas Acominatus Choniates were presented as such and the this theory is treated in Romanian historiography as it should - just an unsubstanciated theory - The origin of the name of Craiova is highly controversiated in the Romanian historiography - The image given in Bulgarian media and historical circles about an anti-bulgarian , hostile , monolythic nationalistic Romanian historioraphy is false. There are many different opinions and the role of Bulgarian political and cultural influence in the early Romanian history started to be reconsidered.

Please take out or modify the paragraph. Nuances in this case are essential.
