The most common name for this historic event in most reliable sources in English is Massacre of Vassy, with the word "of" and anglicized spelling of the town name. (In French, it is Massacre de Wassy.) This can be quickly checked by searching Google Scholar (English only), and a simple count of Google hits (on 31 October 2009):

  • "Massacre of Vassy", 66,100 hits; "Massacre at Vassy", 35,900 hits; "Massacre of Wassy", 14,100 hits; "Massacre at Wassy", 12,500 hits

(Note: Britannica Online also entitles their article "Massacre of Vassy.") Based on this evidence, I will Move this article. Charvex (talk) 08:29, 1 November 2009 (UTC)Reply
