Problem sa romantičarima je što su veoma skloni pravljenju kompletnih teorija koju posle dokazuju, a ne polaze od toga da je neophodno napraviti niz hipoteza i biti spreman na njihovo odbacivanje i menjanje u slučaju da su u koliziji sa činjenicama koje je moguće proveriti dna drugi način.
Inače, autohtonisti vole da zamagljuju znsčenje pojma bečka škola kom dopisuju ono “berlinska”. Reč je o “naučno-rasističkom” “objašnjenju etnogeneze Slovena, kao i o “objašnjenjima” “njihove Inferiornosti” u odnosu na Germane - i relatovno savremena nemačka istoriografija je bila izlagana žestokoj kritici i ismevanju Bečke škole od strane Škole iz Toronta (Toronto school) kao izrazu nemačkog nacionalizma koji su finansirali i nacisti.
Doseljavanje Slovena na Balkan (tada Hem) nije uopšte sporno, jedino se kao savremena nacionalistička konstrukcija kritikuje izmišljena “superiornost Germana” - izažena je potpunim negiranjem slovenskih država (npr slovenska Karantanija je bila organizovana kneževina
pre bilo kakve pojave neke germanske državne formacije na teritoriji današnje Austrije pa su je austrijska i nemačka istoriografija potpuno previđale i preskakale), onda se projektuje u prošlost savremeno značenje germanske titule kralj kao “iznad” titule kneza iako su bile potpuno jednake, a čak i nazivi dolaze iz istog indoevropskog korena), isto i titula arhonta, značajna za nas jer su je nosili prvi srpski vladari: latinski naziv rex dolazi oz istog korena kao i grčka titula srpskih vladara
arhont - dakle Srbima su nekada vladali kraljevi, naravno, to Austrougarskoj nije bilo po volji pa se insistiralo na nižoj tituli
nekadašnjih vladara Srba jer je Srbija više od 1000 godina kasnije bila manja od K und k kojom su u ta vremena (tj malo kasnije) vladali nadvojvode.
The
Latin title rex has the meaning of "king, ruler" (
monarch).
[1][2] It is derived from
Proto-Indo-European *h₃rḗǵs. Its cognates include Sanskrit
rājan, Gothic
reiks, and Old Irish
rí, etc.
Its
Greek equivalent is
archon(ἄρχων), "leader, ruler, chieftain".
Knez je samo originalni
slovenski naziv za kralja, bečka škola je međutim koristila lingvističke razlike nastale kasnije (u tom periodu i sada je knez ispod kralja) da bi “dokazivala” “urođenu superiornost” Germana nad Slovenima…
Knez: The word is ultimately a
cognate of the
English king, the
German König, and the
Swedish konung. The
proto-Slavic form was
кънѧѕь,
kŭnędzĭ;
[5] Church Slavonic: кънѧѕь,
[6] kŭnędzĭ;
Bulgarian: княз,
knyaz;
Old East Slavic: князь,
knyazĭ;
Polish:
książę;
Serbo-Croatian Latin:
knez /
Serbo-Croatian Cyrillic: кнез;
Czech:
kníže;
Slovak:
knieža; etc. It is generally considered to be
an early borrowing from
Proto-Germanic kuningaz, a form also borrowed by
Finnish and
Estonian(
kuningas).

Toronto School
Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, the issue of early medieval ethnic identity was hotly contested between the Vienna School and the so-called Toronto School,
[10] of whom
Walter Goffart is a leading member.
[8] While the Vienna School considers
Old Norse literature and works such as
Getica by
Jordanes to be of some value, this is completely rejected by the Toronto School. They consider these works to be artificial constructions entirely devoid from oral tradition.
[8] While neither of the schools are entirely homogeneous in their approach, discussions between the two schools have been characterized by an unusually intense passion and highly
polemic dialogue.
[8] This has included accusations and insinuations by members of the Toronto school that members of the Vienna school relied on scholarship and ideas from the Nazi period or sympathized with ethnonationalists; such accusations were particularly strong in the 2002 volume
On Barbarian Identity, containing essays by members of the Toronto School.
[11] As of 2020, however, the polemic has died down. James Harland and Matthias Friedrich write that "
roadly speaking, advocates of both camps have shared goals, and oppose the racist and ethnonationalist agendas which draw upon interpretations of the late antique world as an ideological resource".[12]
