100. Courland peasant from Saules estate (Randen). He belongs to the krieviņi [Votians] living in this district, who are thought to have been brought here in earlier times as war captives from Estonia. Among themselves they converse in Estonian but they also speak Latvian. From where they obtained the name krieviņi, meaning “Russians,” is not known; it is supposed that their removal took place still in the time of the Order, from that part of Estonia which was then subject to Russian princes, namely Ugaunia (Ungannien).
