Fédor Ier
Fédor Ier Ivanovitch or Fiodor Ier Ioanovitch (in Russian: Ru Фёдор I Иоаннович) (May 31st 1557 - January 7th 1598) Tsar of Russia of 1584 with 1598.
Wire of Ivan IV the Terrible one and of Anastasia Romanovna Zakharine. In 1580, it marries Irene Godounova (? - 1603) sister of Boris Godounov.
When Fédor becomes tsar, it is 27 years old but is not very intelligent and incompetent to control. Ivan IV knew it. This is why it instituted a council of regency made up of Fiodor Ivanovitch Mtislavski, president of the Council of the boyards, Ivan Pétrovitch Chouiski, Nikita Romanovitch Romanov and Bogdan Yakovlevitch Bielski. Bielski was one of the big bosses of the Opritchnina and defends the rights of the tsarévitch Dimitri, half-brother of Fédor and wire of the last woman of Ivan the Terrible. Mtislavski is a distance cousin and Nikita Romanov is the maternal uncle of Fédor , but they are not very ambitious.
Boris Godounov, brother-in-law of Fédor , was not included in the council of regency but it acquired enough power, in the last years of Ivan, to take part in the fight of the regents for the capacity. Supported by Mtislavski and Romanov, it starts by drawing aside Bogdan Bielski, which is exiled with Ouglitch with the tsarévitch Dimitri and the mother of the EC-last. Ivan Chouiski is more powerful and more ambitious but its sympathies towards the Poland serve it. One removes regency to him and one assigns it with residence.
Consequently, and until the death of Fédor , the totality of the capacity is concentrated between the hands of Boris Godounov. Its principal realization is the introduction of the Patriarcat of Moscow in 1588. It acts, at that time, of the only independent orthodoxe patriarchate, the others (Constantinople, Antioche, Alexandria and Jerusalem) being under Othoman domination.
The May 15th 1591, the tsarévitch Dimitri dies in Ouglitch, perhaps assassinated under the order of Boris Godounov. It is in any case the noise which its enemies but without providing of evidence make run. Fédor thus does not have any more a heir and, when he dies in his turn, in 1598, the dynasty of the Riourikides dies out with him.
Boris Godounov benefits from this vacuum to seize the throne but this disputed crowning puts fire at the powders. It is the beginning of what one called later the Temps of the disorders.
