Vauquelin Brabant
Why did Warhorse give this French guy the last name "Brabant"?
Brabant is Dutch / Flemish... he then insists on teaching us to pronounce Brabant wrong, the French way. Brabant / Flanders and the French are historical enemies,

It's as ridiculous and offensive as introducing a Gazan character and calling him 'Jakob Goldstein of Zion'. Who then pronounces Arabic names with a thick Hebrew accent. WTF.

1403 vs 2025 = not comparable
Because the family name comes from the Duchy of Brabant in Normandy.

You are assuming there is only one source for the name.

I found the website you're referring to, explaining that the last name "Brabant" comes from "the Duchy of Brabant in Normandy". But... there is no such Duchy in Normandy.

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.
Considering how the story plays out and how he acts it's very likely that Brabant is a fraud and a con artist so he may just be calling himself that, keep in mind he's in Bohemia and not france so the chances of someone recognizing him as a fraud are lower.

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.

Flanders was a part of france for a long time, and it's nobility was french.
So it would not be weird for him to come from there.

Flanders was a French County in 1400

Not only the comments above, but the guy is clearly a con artist. Why are you taking a proven liar at his word?

Because he's lying from day 1:

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....

The problem is that whole Vauquelin's story is telling who he is) And not, he's not from Brabant by most chances)

KCD and KCD2 play around 1403, which would make Radzig around 30 by that time.
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.

Then you should know that the Historical Duchy of Brabant consisted of 4 provinces, the area around Brussels was only one (now called Brussels-Capital Brabant). The other three Flemish Brabant (Belgian), Walloon Brabant (also Belgian), and North Brabant (now Dutch), which happens to be the only Brabant province connected to the sea.
