  • Delete, I too think it is a hoax (one of the oldest I've seen here). Jan Očko of Vlašim was named Prague's Archbishop on 12 July 1364 (after Arnošt of Pardubice) and remained in the office until 30 November 1378. --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 06:19, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
  • Delete as a hoax, per Vejvančický he was not the Archbishop of Prague. Also add to the List of hoaxes on Wikipedia - second place. C679 07:21, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
  • Addendum The claim that Karel of Pardubice inherited the town of Pardubice in 1373 is dubious. Páni z Pardubic (Lords of Pardubice) owned the town from 1327-30 to 1384. The house included some important personalities of the Czech history, such as the above mentioned Arnošt of Pardubice or Smil Flaška of Pardubice, however, Karel of Pardubice is not mentioned among them.

  • Delete, probably a hoax. — Joaquin008 (talk) 09:39, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
  • Brilliant, claims that a one year old baby "encouraged the monks and nuns to donate to the Charles University, enhancing the prestige of the education in the institution" yeah sure, delete. - filelakeshoe (t / c) 14:35, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
  • Delete as hoax. SalHamton (talk) 06:11, 7 April 2013 (UTC)
  • Delete the author seems to have been confused about the exact name and life dates of Arnošt of Pardubice, there is no other way to explain the strong similarities in the two articles.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:12, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
  • Delete I can't imagine why anyone would create this as a deliberate hoax, but mistakes can be made, and I think that without anyone standing up to defend poor Karel, we must conclude that he never actually was. Listmeister (talk)
