Map inaccurate
This map contains several inaccuracies that need to be corrected before it can be used with articles. First: The Livonian coast around the Gulf of Riga was definitely not Christian in 1054. When Saint Meinhard arrived there in 1184, he only found pagan Livonians in the area who over the next 30 years were converted to Catholicism. Second, in 1054 the border between Estonians and the Russian principalities ran along the Narva River and Lake Peipus, mutual raids notwithstanding. This is where the border still lay 150 years later in 1208, when the Livonian Crusade was launched to convert the pagan Estonians to Catholicism. According to the current map, however, the eastern half of Estonia was supposedly Orthodox already by 1054. Third, Eastern Latvia was not Christian in 1054. The first local prince in present-day Latvia (Vyachko) converted to Christianity in the late 1190s. Please upload a corrected version of the map if you wish to continue using it.--Vihelik (talk) 17:46, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
