Sorry about the vagueness regarding Boleslav's restoration in 1003. The few sources I have don't agree about who restored him. I get the impression that Boleslav was restored by the Poles in 1003, but later that year Boleslaw the Brave turned against him in a blatant bid to add Bohemia to his growing empire. On the other hand this is still conjecture and I don't want to present it as historical fact.

I hate to be a pedant (actually that's a lie. I love to be a pedant) but I dont know any Slavic language which uses 'Boleslaus' as a name. I accept general anglicisation such as 'Karl' to 'Charles' etc, but the version I use in this case helps to distinguish the Czech Boleslav from the Polish Boleslaw (same pronunciation, but helps the reader). I'll contribute the main articles to this area until someone does better, but while we wait it would help me if the encyclopaedia was consistent here. Give us a hand (sic - fellow pedants).
