I was very interested to read your posting taking issue with the old Russian myth because of the new detail you provided on the theory christian was from Scotland.what is the documentation for the information in the paragraph on that topic.
I must admit to a bit of bias towards the theory Christian was German, with a transmigration through Holland, because of the linguistic evidence -- Dollhof is not an uncommon name in Germany and translates in old north german to house (hof) with drainage or near the water or aquduct (Dol) -- but am very interested in other theories given the lack of a clear tracability back to Europe.
