Talk:Johann Adam Schall von Bell

Untitled
Is there a connection between the subject and Livonian knights Philipp Schall von Bell and Bernt Shall von Bell? Philip Schall von Bell was defeated by Muscovites in 1560, taken prisoner with his brother, and executed in Moscow. Bernt's tomb is now stored in the Kremlin museum.
