You are assuming there is only one source for the name.
There is only one Duchy of Brabant, the areas surrounding Brussels. I'm from there.
Also, Normandy was a Duchy, so cannot contain another Duchy within it; as well as being very close to Brabant. So it makes no sense that they would have the same name. That website is just wrong / mistaken about that part.
In any case, this same website claims that around 3000 people have the last name Brabant (in France). So I guess that explains the name of the character.
First world problems, some of these posts got me cracking up, strait up rolling in my chair.
When someone's life experiences have been so coddled or privileged that these are the things that get under their skin.
Jesus Christ be praised, by the sounds of it you live a comfortable life good sir.
So it would not be weird for him to come from there.
1) During the feast in Ratborzh, he told Bohuta (Godwin) that he had been born on the ocean shore. But tells Jindřich later in the Devil's Den that he is originating from Brabant (which was a landlocked Duchy).
2) He stated that he gained his spurs in the battle of Arezzo from Enguerrand VII de Coucy himself, but it should have been in the Italian Campaign of 1384 (the only time Enguerrand was in that region). While his dagger of Jean de Carrouges fraud couldn't be executed until 1387 (the ordalia happened on December 21, 1386). So he should be 2 years a knight and a high-ranked officer at the King's court already - it's hard to believe, that he needed to buy armor with such a scam.
Also, to be knighted it was recommended to be 21+, so he should be at least 40 years old (born before 1363), but he doesn't look like it. Of course, chars in the KCD franchise often look not at their estimated age, but still he looks younger or same age as Racek Kobyla (who was likely born in the 1370s), not older.
3) In 1384 Charles VI, King of France was underaged, hence Vauquelin should have reported to the regent council, not the King, and if the young king was not in the mood to be engaged in governing - his participation was not needed. Of course, Vauquelin could just want to be on the good count after reporting to the King, but all life-saving story seems to be a lie too.
By most chances, he's a second son or small landowner from Occitania himself, who went to the battle of Arezzo as a page\squire, executed his dagger scheme, was banished from the court because of it, and started to impersonate the knight killed at Arezzo to be accepted in high society.
thought the exact same thing..., there are really ppl obsessing so much about a video game that they get agitated about some fictional NPC's fictional origins ? Could understand it when the guy claimed to be from Mars, but jeez....
For Henry to be an adult (by modern standards, I mean) he'd have to be born in 1385 at the latest (making him 18 in 1403), which would mean Radzig was precisely 15 when he was born in 1370 at the earliest. The historical Radzig Kobyla is assumed to be born in the 1370s, but there are no accounts. He could as well have been born in the (very) late 1360s.
