Talk:Albert of Riga


Albrecht von Buxthoeven → Albert of Riga– This individual is most often known in English simply as "Bishop Albert", or as "Albert of Riga" or "Albert of Livonia". The current title is not even the most commonly used in German, let alone English. Olessi 05:46, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It seems like Google has enough hits for references on Albert of Riga, so where are the references in the article? I am downgrading all assessments for this article due to lack of (in-line) references (and perhaps an image or two). Talk/♥фĩłдωəß♥\Work 20:16, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've been working on the history of Riga. Lo and behold, I come across History of the Christian Church, by Wilhelm Moeller, Andrew Rutherfurd, Gustav Kawerau, John Henry Freese, which specifically states "Albert (of Stade, not of Apeldern or Buxhöwden)."
