AFAIK there is a wish to use as much local variants as possible, where these are known. I'm pretty sure you'll see the Árpáds in :)

The Arpad dynasty is called just that in English, the Arpad. At worst the accents may get lost, but even that would be unlikely.

BTW, I haven't seen "Hapsburg" in any recent English text - it has almost always been "Habsburg" for pretty much the last century or so...

What have you been reading? I don't remember reading that anywhere...well maybe I have, but not enough to remember.

Sounds like somewhere someone made a spelling mistake that stuck.

My sophomore year in Highschool, my World Civ back referred to them as the Hapsburgs. When I saw the Habsburg spelling, I thought it was wrong.

I must confess that I had similiar experience, well not in HS but reading a book on my own. I was shocked but when I had another source of history, I found that it is correct.
 
Heh, we are talking about High School history texts? Yeah, real paragons of accuracy and scholarship those are... :rolleyes:

I was talking about real history texts...
 
Just one thing Portugal will be called Portugal or Afonsine Dinasty???? and what happen when the dinasty changes names???

Well, neither Portugal nor the Afonsine dynasty existed in 1066 so... ;)
 
Yes, I really think we need double names for dynasties - one real and one for semi-literate American high school students with dyslexia :rolleyes:

Hapsburg is an incorrect form. So is Emporer. Athiest. And Napolean :p
