Biography
For Ivan IV Grozny stretch the fame of a merciless despot. Not only boyars, but also the family he did not forgive betrayal and betrayal. The penultimate specific prince of the Moscow state Vladimir Staritsky accounted for the first king of All Russia with a cousin. For many years, he served as faithfully, but was, according to generally accepted opinion, Obolgan and fell from the hands of Ivan IV himself.Childhood and youth
Vladimir Andreevich Staritsky was born in 1533 in Moscow - the center of the most powerful Rus. His biography is inextricably linked with the ruling family: he is not only the cousin Ivan IV, but also the grandson of the Grand Prince of Moscow Ivan III Vasilyevich.
Andrei Father Ivanovich Staritsky was also a specific prince. Mother - Efrosinia Andreevna Khovanskaya (in Maiden). She is a descendant of the Grand Prince Lithuanian Gedimin - the founder of the Gediminovsky dynasty, which is the rules of the Lithuanian principality between the XIV and the XVI centuries. In the post took the name of Evdokia, now canonized.
In 1537, Andrei Staritsky raised the rebellion against Elena Glinskaya, Mother Ivan IV Grozny. He wrapped in failure for the whole family. The rebel himself prematurely died, and his only son and spouse were imprisoned.
It is not known how many years would be OPAL, if Vladimir Staritsky and Ivan IV would not raise side by side in warm relationships. In 1541, by order of Ivana Belsky, the regent of the future king of All Russia, the rebellious prince family was released. At the same time, Vladimir Staritsky gave under the leadership of the Father's Earth.
Service Sovereign
Ivan IV Grozny not only was friends with Vladimir Staritsky, but also instructed him responsible tasks. So, I rebuilt in 1549 in a military campaign to the Kazan Khanate, the king of All Russia left his friend to rule the Moscow State. Of course, nominally, but the fact itself said a lot about the relationship of men.
And in 1552, when Ivan the Terrible in the 3rd and final times went to Kazan, Vladimir Staritsky headed the Streetsky army. His squadrina was first broke into the city and congratulated the sovereign with new conquest.
Heavy relations with the authorities at Vladimir Staritsky began in 1553, when Ivan Grozny is seriously ill. He could not fulfill his duties, rumored that he would not even survive. Then some boyars and representatives of the elected Rada began to be considered a candidate for the throne of Russia's prince of Moscow state. Although then the first son of Ivan IV - Dmitry has already appeared. Actively supported the opinion of Boyar and Efrosinya Staritsky.
There were also those who swore in loyalty to Tsarevich. Forced to maintain the oath of Boyar and Vladimir Staritsky. He, albeit reluctantly, if you believe the chronicles, but put the family printing to the sacrifice book. But the mother of the specific prince has long refused this procedure. Three times the boyars were stacked and still persuaded - by force.
This episode served the family of old man. I barely recovered, Ivan the Terrible exiled Vladimir in his lot, and he was closely behind Effrosigny. Disability, however, did not last long.
In 1554, the son had born the son inherited by the father of his father. The guardian was appointed, oddly enough with all concomitant circumstances, the proportion of the prince. At the same time, Ivan Grozny made up a will, according to which Vladimir Staritsky had to take to the throne, if the only heir would die in infancy.
So much significant role of the Staritsky family in the understanding of Ivan the Terrible was indignant to other approximations. Therefore, they became, if we are expressed by modern language, look for compromising. The result of this subversive activity was denunciation, accusing Vladimir Staritsky and his mother in a conspiracy against the Tsar of All Russia. It was 1563 year.
After this incident, Effrosigna Staritsky asked Ivan IV permission to take the same way into a nun. Other sources say that it was forcibly removed from the political arena. One way or another, for many years she languished in the Resurrection Garithic Monastery.
The longer Ivan the Terrible rules, the stronger he developed paranoia. He surrounded himself with a close rings of the most faithful people, and Vladimir Staritsky was doubtful due to the events of 1553. Then the chicks did the simplest and faithful - fabricated against him the accusation of the treason of the Tsar of All Russia.
Personal life
About the personal life of Vladimir Staritsky is known from dry facts. He was married twice, and the exact number of children was not installed.Evdokia Alexandrovna Nagaya became the first elected. They were combined with a marriage in the spring of 1551. From this union, the son of Vasily (1552 r.) And the daughter of Eupimia (1553 p.) Has lived peacefully.
Evdokia Nagaya in 1555 adopted the monastic stop, after which the proprietary prince married Evdokia Romanovna Odoevskaya. She fell in the grave along with his spouse, but managed to give birth to seven children. Only one Maria Staritsky (1560 g.) Locked adults. The rest - Maria (approx. 1560 g.), Evdokia (1561 g.), Yuri (1563 R.), Ivan (1569 P), Anastasia and Tatiana, - Died or were killed in infancy .
Opal and death
Vladimir Staritsky took in Opal in 1569. As a charge, false testimony was paid from the cook that the proprietary prince sentenced him to poison the food of Ivan the Terrible. Without the trial and the consequence of the "State Adagger" and his family, Evdokia Odokia, Sons of Ivan and Yuri, were executed.
In the ways of killing historians diverge. Some say that Vladimir Staritsky cut off his head, others - that he was stabbed. But the generally accepted cause of death is forced poisoning. It is believed that Ivan Grozny himself gave the death to death. Family and Boyar shot arrows.
Vladimir Staritsky, the last refuge, found in the genital tomb at the Moscow Cathedral of St. ArchReart Mikhail. The grave is not lost.
