The text of this article states that "Methodius' body was buried in the main cathedral church of Great Moravia. Until today it remains an open question which city was capital of Great Moravia and therefore the place of Methodius' eternal rest remains unknown." The article on Great Moravia states that "Although the location of the Great Moravian capital, "Veligrad", has not been identified, Mikulčice with its palace and 12 churches is the most widely accepted candidate." All well and good so far; Methodius probably died in, and was certainly buried in, the capital of Great Moravia, "Veligrad" or "Velehrad," the location of which is today uncertain. However, the infobox gives a death location for Methodius of Velehrad- a village which is popularly associated with the saints, and which today has structures commemorating the saints, but which is unequivocally not identical with the Veligrad/Velehrad of Great Moravia- as the village's own website states (translated from Czech), "...St. Cyril and Methodius, whose work is traditionally associated with Velehrad (although today we know for sure that the original Velehrad is not the same as the current one)." The website explains that the association with Cyril and Methodius dates from the 19th century, and that the consecration of the basilica which today honors the saints was only expanded to include them in the 1930s.
Anyway: I'm "being bold" and simply unlinking Velehrad from the death location in the infobox. It's incorrect, and contradicts the text of the article. Presumably, its linking to the article on the modern-day village of Velehrad was an honest mistake, caused by understandable confusion between the historic capital and the later village of the same name, made even more understandable because others have evidently made the same mistaken identification before. It'd be good to add a sentence to the article explaining the later (mis)identification of the saints with Velehrad, but I don't speak Czech, and am not quite confident about using/citing sources in translation like this.
