Marriage with Brita - year
editThere is a problem here and in article Brita Persdotter Karth:
- if he is in Moscow in 1599 for marriage with Ksenia Godunova, he should be unmarried at this time
- russian sources - and Conrad Bussow - called her "he took in Moscow his lover, some Ekaterina, with her husband German inkeeper Christopher Kather from Danzig, and prince's illegitimate children" - so Gustav was with her, but not by law. Also here is a note, that tsar Boris Godunov separated Gustav with his daugher's rival, and send him in exile alone.
- he couldn't married with Brita in Kashin in 1594, because he's in Kashin only after Vasili IV of Russia's coronation - 1606. In 1594 he was still in Europe. So if they get married - only in Russia after 1599, and if in Kashin - only after 1606, when all his living conditions were moderated, but not in Uglich and Yaroslavl.

- Yes indeed, there is problem, but this is simply due to the fact that Brita Persdotter Karth is a myth created by wishful thinking (and perhaps even forged documents) in the 18th century. See my posting at Talk:Brita Persdotter Karth.
- I have begun correcting the articles on Gustav and Brita in the Swedish version of Wikipedia and will try to fix the English ones as well in due time. /FredrikT (talk) 06:41, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
