THEODORE II

This article appears in Volume V26, Page 765 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TAV-THE
THEODORE II . (1589-1605),
tsar
  of
Russia
 , was the son of
Tsar
  Boris Godunov and one of the daughters of Malyuta-Skuratov, the infamous favourite of Ivan the Terrible. Passionately beloved by his father, he received the best available
education
  for those days, and from childhood was initiated into all the minutiae of government, besides sitting regularly in the
council
  and receiving the
foreign
  envoys. He seems also to have been remarkably and precociously intelligent, and the first map of
Russia
  by a native, still preserved, is by his hand. On the sudden death of Boris he was proclaimed tsar (13th of
April
  16o5). Though his father had taken the precaution to surround him with powerful
friends
 , he lived from the first moment of his reign in an atmosphere of treachery. On the 1st of July the envoys of Pseudo-Demetrius I. arrived at Moscow to demand his removal, and the letters which they read publicly in the Red Square decided his
fate
 . On the loth of July he was most foully murdered in his apartments in the Kreml.
See D. I. Ilovaisky, The Anarchical Period in 'the
Realm
  of Moscovy (Rus.) (Moscow, 1894).
