James See also:Stanley, 7th See also:earl of See also:Derby, appointed Christian his See also:receiver-See also:general; and when in 1651 the earl crossed to See also:England to fight for See also:Charles II. he See also:left him in command of the See also:island See also:militia. Derby was taken prisoner at the See also:battle of See also:Worcester, and his famous countess, See also:Charlotte de la Trernouille, who was residing in Man, sought to obtain her See also:husband's See also:release by negotiating with the victorious parliamentarians for the surrender of the island. At once a revolt headed by Christian See also:broke out, partly as a consequence of this step, partly owing to the discontent caused by some agrarian arrangements recently introduced by the earl. The rebels seized many of the forts; then Christian in his turn entered into negotiations with the parliamentarians; and probably owing to his connivance the island was soon in the See also:power of See also:Colonel See also:Robert Duckenfield, who had brought the See also:parliamentary See also:fleet to Man in See also:October 1651. The countess of Derby was compelled to surrender her two fortresses, See also:Castle Rushen and See also:Peel castle, while Christian remained receiver-general, becoming See also:governor of the island in 1656. Two years later, however, he was accused of misappropriating some 'See also:money; he fled to England, and in 166o was arrested in See also:London. Having under-gone a See also:year's imprisonment he returned to Man, hoping that his offence against the earl of Derby would be condoned under the See also:Act of See also:Indemnity of 1661; but, anxious to punish his conduct, Charles, the new earl of Derby, ordered his seizure; he refused to plead, and a packed See also:House of Keys declared that in this See also:case his See also:life and See also:property were at the See also:mercy of the lord of the island. The deemsters then passed See also:sentence, and in accordance therewith Christian was executed by See also:shooting on the 2nd of See also:January 1663. This arbitrary act angered Charles II. and his advisers; the deemsters and others were punished, and some reparation was made to Christian's See also:family. Christian is chiefly celebrated through the Manx ballad Baase Manz Dhone, which has been translated into See also:English by See also:George See also:Borrow, and through the references to him in See also:Sir See also:Walter See also:Scott's Peveril of the See also:Peak.
