Article on the L. IX Hispana (Factual????)

Quote:As for what Miles Russell did or did not say, I'm afraid my innate scepticism about the media makes me doubt that any of the things he is supposed to have said are a verbatim account; I have seen too many friends and colleagues' words mangled by the press.
You are right about the press of course, but Dr . Russell seems to advocate this idea about the Ninth in his publications. I did not read his 'Bloodline' book, but the Wikipedia article about the Ninth has a reference to this book as proof of the 'growing academic support for the scenario that the ninth was destroyed in Britain after all'. So far, I think this 'growing academic support' is limited to dr. Russell.
