Mikhail Fedorovich Romanov (1596-1645) - the first Russian tsar from the Romanov family. He ruled the Moscow kingdom from 1613 to 1645. The Romanovs themselves were the oldest family of Moscow boyars. Known from the first half of the XIV century. But at first they were called the Zakharyins-Yurievs. From this family came the first and beloved wife of Ivan the Terrible, Anastasia. She was revered for her kindness, meekness, and the people lovingly called her Dove.

The first to take the surname of Romanov was also a native of this boyar family, Patriarch Filaret, in honor of his grandfather Roman. Mikhail was Filaret's son. In the difficult years of the Time of Troubles, the future tsar ended up in exile along with his uncles, father and mother at the behest of Boris Godunov. Then the representatives of the disgraced family returned to Moscow. In 1612, the boy settled with his mother Ksenia Ivanovna in the village of Domnine near Galich, where the patrimonial estate was located.

However, soon the fate of the young man changed dramatically. In Moscow, the Zemsky Sobor was held, at which the young Mikhail was elected to the kingdom on February 21, 1613. Upon learning of this, the Poles sent a detachment to Galich to capture the new tsar. The detachment was guided by the peasant Ivan Susanin. His Polish invaders met him on the way to the village of Domnino and demanded that he show the way.

Ivan Susanin and the Poles

Susanin sent his son-in-law to the Romanovs to warn of the danger, and he himself led the Polish detachment in a completely different direction. He led enemies into the forest thicket and was hacked by them. But with his feat, a simple peasant saved the future sovereign and founder of a new dynasty for Russia.

Announced of the danger, Ksenia Ivanovna and her son Mikhail took refuge in the Ipatiev Monastery, located in the city of Kostroma. It was there that the representatives of the Zemsky Sobor arrived. On March 14, 1613, they solemnly announced to Mikhail Fedorovich about his election to the kingdom. And the Ipatiev Monastery has since been considered the cradle of the Romanovs' house. In it in 1913 the 300th anniversary of the great dynasty was solemnly celebrated.

The reign of Mikhail Fedorovich Romanov (1613-1645)

The solemn wedding to the kingdom took place in the Assumption Cathedral in Moscow on June 11, 1613... The cap of Monomakh was placed on the head of the young sovereign, and he became the sovereign ruler of the Russian land. But given his young years, the young king did not rule on his own. Real power was in the hands of Ksenia Ivanovna (nun Martha) and her relatives.

In 1619, the father of the young sovereign, Patriarch Filaret (Fyodor Romanov), returned from Polish captivity. When he entered Moscow, his son met his father, kneeling at the city gates. Filaret was a strong and strong-willed person. He lived a difficult, full of trials life, so he had no experience. Until his death in 1633, he ruled with his son and bore the title of Great Sovereign.

Michael met his father on his knees

The tasks before the Romanovs were extremely difficult. After the Time of Troubles, the country was poor and defenseless against numerous enemies. Therefore, Filaret put the ability to negotiate with his subjects and foreign states at the forefront. But above all, the patriarch decided to consolidate the position of the new dynasty. And for this it was necessary to urgently marry Mikhail so that heirs would appear.

A struggle was always in full swing around the choice of the bride at the royal court, as the relatives of the queen received high positions and material benefits. For a long time, Marya Khlopova was listed as a bride for the young tsar. However, one day the girl ate sweets and fell ill. She was immediately slandered in front of the groom, telling him that Marya was terminally ill. Mikhail immediately abandoned the bride.

From many young girls, he chose Marya Dolgorukaya. But soon the new bride died. Apparently she was poisoned out of envy. Then the enviable groom chose a new bride. She was Evdokia Lukyanovna Streshneva. She was a beautiful girl, but she came from an ordinary noble family.

The wedding took place in 1626. The queen gave birth to the sovereign 10 children. Of these, six died as babies. 3 daughters and 1 son Aleksey survived to adulthood. It was he who became the second king of the Romanov family after the death of his father in 1645.

As for political activity, Tsar Mikhail Fedorovich Romanov managed to overcome the grave consequences of the Time of Troubles and restored normal economy and trade in the country.

In 1617, according to the Stolbovo peace, the war with Sweden was ended. Russia received back the lands of Veliky Novgorod.

In 1634, the Peace of Polianovo was concluded with the Commonwealth and relations with the Western powers were resumed. Foreign embassies are again located in Moscow.

The activity of orders was restored and the collection of taxes was established, which was of great importance for the state treasury. The local authorities managed to destroy the gangs of robbers, of which there were a lot more during the Time of Troubles.

Coins circulating under Mikhail Fedorovich Romanov

In the early 1930s, the army was reformed. Soldier, Reitar and Dragoon regiments appeared. Weapons factories were built near Tula, iron-smelting production began to develop actively.

The German settlement was founded on the territory of Moscow. Foreign specialists began to settle in it. Over the course of a century, these people played an important role in the reforms of the last Moscow tsar and the first emperor of the Russian state, Peter I.

The first king of the Romanov dynasty died on July 13, 1645 at the age of 49. It is assumed that he died of dropsy peritoneal. And a month later, Queen Evdokia also died. The new Tsar, Alexei Mikhailovich Romanov, ascended the throne.

Mikhail Romanov's board (briefly)

The first ruler of Russia from the new Romanov dynasty was the elect of the Zemsky Sobor in 1613, Mikhail Romanov. His parents were Ksenia Ioannovna Shestova and Fyodor Nikitich Romanov. Thus, it was Mikhail who turned out to be the closest kinship to the former Russian tsars. It is necessary to clarify that the Polish prince Vladislav and the Swedish prince Karl-Philip also claimed the Russian throne at that time. After the liberation of Moscow by the militia of Pozharsky and Minin, the future ruler and his mother lived in the Ipatiev Monastery, and Mikhail's father, under the name Filaret, would later become patriarch (after the coronation of his son). Throughout the entire time, up to 1633, the state was actually ruled by Patriarch Filaret.

Having learned about the election of a new tsar, the Poles tried to prevent this in a small detachment. But on the way to the monastery they met Ivan Susanin, who at the cost of his life sent the Poles along a false road into the forest, where he was killed by them, but did not tell how to get to the monastery.

The economy of the state, which was in decline after the beginning of the seventeenth century, which was very unfortunate for Russia, began to gradually recover. In 1617, a peace treaty was signed with Sweden, which returned the previously captured Novgorod region. After the actual signing of the treaty with Poland in 1618, Polish troops were completely removed from the Russian land. However, the Smolensk, Seversk and Chernigov territories were lost. Vladislav Korolev, refusing to accept the new Russian tsar, called himself only the ruler of Russia.

The frequent raids of the Tatars, which Turkey provoked, lead to the formation of serif lines in the South of Russia. In order to fight them, the Don Cossacks were involved. At the same time, warm relations with Persia were established, and the lands of the Russian state increased significantly due to the conquest of the Siberian territories. During the reign of Mikhail Romanov, the taxation of the townspeople was significantly increased.

In addition, during this period, an attempt is being made to form a regular army. It should be noted that foreign specialists acted in the role of officers in this army. At the very end of the reign of Mikhail Fedorovich Romanov, the so-called dragoon regiments were formed, which guarded the external state borders.

The end of the biography of this ruler comes in 1645, and his power passes to his son Alexei.

The main directions of Mikhail Romanov's policy:

The future tsar was born in 1596 in the family of the boyar Fyodor Nikitich and his wife Ksenia Ivanovna. Mikhail Fyodorovich's father was a relatively close relative of the last Tsar from the Rurik dynasty, Fyodor Ioannovich. However, the elder Romanov, Fyodor Nikitich, was tonsured a monk and therefore could not claim the royal throne.

With the elevation of Archimandrite Filaret (in the world Fyodor Nikitich Romanov) to the rank of Metropolitan of Rostov, his wife Ksenia was tonsured as a nun under the name Martha and lived with her son Mikhail in the Kostroma Ipatiev Monastery, which belonged to the Rostov diocese.

With the arrival of the Poles in Moscow, Martha and Mikhail were in their hands and fully felt all the hardships of the siege of the city by the Nizhny Novgorod militia. With the end of the siege, they again moved to the Ipatiev Monastery.

Election to the kingdom

On February 21, 1613, the Great Zemsky Sobor gathered in Moscow to elect the tsar. The elections were very difficult, with a lot of disagreements, intrigues and proposals. In addition to the fact that representatives of the Russian nobility (for example, D. Pozharsky) were proposed as candidates for the throne, there were also applicants from abroad. The Polish prince Vladislav and the Prince of Sweden Karl Philip were especially eager for Russian power. After long disputes, preference was given to Mikhail Fedorovich. There was an opinion among the people that the most correct decision would be if the choice fell on a person closely related to the terminated dynasty. And the Russian boyars were more to the liking of Mikhail Fedorovich. They were satisfied with his young age, meek and gentle nature. On July 1, 1613, Mikhail Romanov's royal wedding took place in Moscow.

The reign of Tsar Mikhail Fedorovich

The young king was primarily concerned with the pacification of the state. Despite the fact that the Troubles seemed to be over, the country was still tormented by gangs of Cossacks, fugitive peasants, Lithuanian and Polish detachments, which acted more at their own peril and risk. Gradually managed to destroy most of them.

Problems remained with the "official" invaders. The Swedes still held Novgorod, while the Poles claimed the Moscow throne.

A new page in the reign of Mikhail Fedorovich was opened by his father, Metropolitan Filaret. He was held by the Poles for a long time and in 1619 he finally returned to Moscow. The tsar very quickly elevated him to the rank of Moscow patriarch with the title “great sovereign”. His influence on his son was very significant. Many state decisions were made only with the approval of the patriarch. A similar dual power existed until Filaret's death in October 1633.

In 1623, the young tsar married Princess Marya Vladimirovna Dolgoruka, who soon died. In 1626, a wedding took place with Evdokia Lukyanovna Streshneva, who was the daughter of an ordinary nobleman.

Mikhail Fedorovich did not conduct a very active foreign policy. I tried not to get involved in large military campaigns. The Second Polish War ended in failure, and the Poles managed to save all the previously captured Russian lands. The Cossacks' campaign ended ingloriously. They captured the Turkish fortress of Azov, but the king, not wanting to quarrel with the Turks, did not defend it.

Domestic policy of Mikhail Fedorovich

The internal problems of the state worried the king much more. His efforts were aimed at raising the economy and streamlining finance. Elected people from Russian cities were called, who informed the government about the state of the land and suggested ways to improve their situation.

During the reign of Mikhail Romanov, 12 Zemsky Councils took place, which greatly facilitated the work of the government.

The military service class was analyzed in the country and a new cadastre was started.

Under Mikhail Fedorovich, the country became more open to foreigners. The practice of inviting foreign scholars and correcting church books began. The first government school is being created in Moscow.

Mikhail Fedorovich Romanov, the founder of the dynasty, died on July 13, 1645, leaving three daughters and a son, Alexei Mikhailovich, who succeeded him on the throne.

Mikhail Fedorovich Romanov (1596-1645) - the first Russian tsar from the Romanov dynasty (ruled from March 24, 1613), was elected to reign by the Zemsky Sobor on February 21 (March 3) 1613, which closed the period of the Time of Troubles. The son of boyar Fyodor Nikitich Romanov (later - Patriarch of Moscow Filaret) and boyar Ksenia Ivanovna Romanova (nee Shestova). He was the cousin of the last Russian tsar from the Moscow branch of the Rurik dynasty, Fedor I Ioannovich.

Biography

The Romanov family belongs to the ancient families of the Moscow boyars. The first representative of this surname known to us from the chronicles - Andrei Ivanovich, who had the nickname Mare, in 1347 was in the service of the Great Vladimir and Moscow Prince Semyon Ivanovich Gordy.

Under Boris Godunov, the Romanovs fell into disgrace. In 1600, a search began on the denunciation of the nobleman Bertenev, who served as treasurer for Alexander Romanov, the uncle of the future tsar. Bertenev reported that the Romanovs are keeping magic roots in their treasury, intending to “spoil” (kill with witchcraft) the royal family. From the diary of the Polish embassy it follows that a detachment of the tsar's archers carried out an armed attack on the Romanovs' compound. On October 26, 1600, the Romanov brothers were arrested. Nikita Romanovich's sons, Fedor, Alexander, Mikhail, Ivan and Vasily, were tonsured as monks and exiled to Siberia in 1601, where most of them died. In 1605, False Dmitry I, wishing to prove in practice his kinship with the Romanovs' house, returned the surviving members of the family from exile. Fyodor Nikitich (as a monk Filaret) with his wife Ksenia Ivanovna (as a monk Martha) and children and Ivan Nikitich were returned. Martha Ivanovna and her son Mikhail first settled in the Kostroma estate of the Romanovs, the village of Domnina, and then hid from the persecution of the Polish-Lithuanian detachments in the Ipatiev Monastery near Kostroma.

Election to the kingdom

On March 13, 1613, ambassadors from the Zemsky Sobor, which elected 16-year-old Mikhail as tsar, headed by Archbishop Theodoret of Ryazan, the cellarer of the Trinity-Sergius Monastery Abraham Palitsyn and the boyar Fyodor Ivanovich Sheremetev, arrived in Kostroma; On March 14, they were received at the Ipatiev Monastery with the decision of the Zemsky Sobor on the election of Mikhail Fedorovich to the Moscow throne.

The nun Martha was in despair; she tearfully begged her son not to accept such a heavy burden. Mikhail hesitated for a long time. After addressing the mother and Michael of the Ryazan Archbishop Theodorit, Martha gave her consent to the elevation of her son to the throne. A few days later, Mikhail left for Moscow. His mother blessed him with the Feodorovskaya icon of the Mother of God for the kingdom, and from that moment the icon became one of the shrines of the Romanovs' house. In the legend about the icon there are such words ascribed to Martha: "Behold, You, O Bogomati, Most Pure Mother of God, in Your Most Pure hand, Lady, I betray my child, and, as you like, arrange something useful for him and all Orthodox Christianity."

On the way, he stopped in all major cities: Kostroma, Nizhny Novgorod, Vladimir, Yaroslavl, Trinity Monastery, Rostov, Suzdal. Arriving in Moscow, he went through Red Square to the Kremlin. At the Spassky Gate, he was greeted with a procession with the main state and church relics. Then he prayed at the tombs of the Russian tsars in the Archangel Cathedral and at the shrines of the Cathedral of the Assumption.

On July 11, 1613, Mikhail's wedding to the kingdom took place in the Assumption Cathedral of the Moscow Kremlin, marking the founding of a new ruling dynasty of the Romanovs.

Tsar Mikhail Fedorovich was young and inexperienced, and until 1619 the country was ruled by the great eldress Martha and her relatives. Then, after the release of Patriarch Filaret from Polish captivity in 1619, the actual power passed into the hands of the latter, who also bore the title of the Great Sovereign. State letters of that time were written on behalf of the tsar and the patriarch.

During the reign of Mikhail Fedorovich, wars with Sweden (Stolbovsky Peace 1617, according to which the Novgorod lands were returned to Russia) and Poland (1634) were ended, relations with foreign powers were resumed. In 1621, especially for the tsar, the clerks of the Ambassadorial Prikaz began to prepare the first Russian newspaper - "Vestovye Letters". In the years 1631-1634, the organization of the regiments of the "new system" (Reitarsky, Dragoon, soldier's) was carried out. In 1632, Andrei Vinius, with the permission of Mikhail Fedorovich, founded the first iron-smelting, iron-making and arms factories near Tula.

In 1637, the period for capturing fugitive peasants was increased to 9 years, and in 1641 - for another year. Those exported by other owners were allowed to search for up to 15 years.

He died on July 13, 1645 from water sickness at the age of 49. Buried in the Archangel Cathedral of the Moscow Kremlin.

Marriage plans

In 1616, Tsar Michael was twenty years old. The nun queen Martha, in agreement with the boyars, decided to arrange a bridal show for the brides - it was fitting for the king to marry and show the world his rightful heir, so that there would be no troubles. The girls came to Moscow for the bride, but the mother had previously chosen a girl for her son from a noble boyar family, close to the family of her relatives, the Saltykovs. Mikhail, however, confused her plans: bypassing the ranks of beauties, the young tsar stopped in front of the hawthorn Maria Khlopova. The Tsar's bride was settled in the palace and was even given a new name Anastasia (in memory of the first wife of Ivan the Terrible). Together with the girl, her numerous relatives arrived at the court. But suddenly the girl fell ill, for several days she had frequent vomiting. The court doctors who examined her (Valentin Bils and the healer Balsyr) issued a conclusion: "Fruit and childbearing do not come from that bail." But Mikhail Saltykov reported to Tsar Mikhail that the doctor Balsyr recognized the bride's illness as incurable. The nun Martha demanded that Mary be removed. The Zemsky Sobor was convened. Gavrilo Khlopov beat his forehead: "The disease came from sweet poisons. The disease is passing, the bride is already healthy. Don't send her from above! But the boyars knew that the Tsar's mother did not want Khlopov, so they admitted:" Maria Khlopova is fragile to the tsar's joy! " Maria, together with her grandmother, aunt and two uncles Zhelyabuzhsky, separated from her parents, were sent into exile in Tobolsk, but Mikhail Fedorovich continued to receive news about the health of the former bride.

In 1619, the tsar's father, Metropolitan Philaret, returned from captivity and was consecrated to the patriarch. With his appearance, the influence of the mother on Mikhail has noticeably decreased. Filaret did not agree with his wife and condemned his son for his cowardly behavior. The bride and her relatives were transferred to Verkhoturye, and a year later to Nizhny Novgorod. But Filaret did not insist on marriage with his former bride. Taking into account the sad state of the state, the patriarch decided to marry Mikhail a Lithuanian princess, but he refused. Then the father offered to marry Dorothea-Augusta, the niece of the Danish king Christian. The chronicle reports on the refusal of the king, motivated by the fact that his brother, Prince John, came to woo Princess Xenia and, according to rumors, was killed by poison. At the beginning of 1623, an embassy was sent to the Swedish king to woo his relative, Princess Catherine. But she did not want to fulfill the indispensable Russian condition - to be baptized into the Orthodox faith.

After failures at foreign courts, Mikhail Fedorovich again remembered Mary. He told his parents: "I have combined according to the law of God, I am betrothed to a queen, besides her I do not want to take another." The nun Martha again accused the girl of illness. By order of Patriarch Filaret, an inquiry was conducted: Maria's parents and the doctors who treated her were interrogated. Doctors Bils and Balsyr were sent to Nizhny Novgorod to examine the bride again. They examined Maria-Anastasia, interrogated relatives, confessor and came to a unanimous opinion: "Marya Khlopova is healthy in everything." The bride herself said: “As I was with my father and my mother and my grandmother, I never had any illnesses, and even being in the sovereign's court, I was healthy for six weeks, and after that an illness appeared, the insides vomited and broke and there was a tumor, and tea, it was caused by an adversary, and there was that illness twice for two weeks. They gave me holy water to drink from the relics, and that is why I was healed, and soon felt better, and now I am healthy. "

After the inquiry, the Saltykovs conspiracy was revealed. Mikhail and Boris were sent to their estates, the eldress Eunikia (Martha's confidante) was exiled to the Suzdal monastery. The king was going to marry the chosen girl again. But the nun Martha threatened her son: "If Khlopova becomes a queen, I will not remain in your kingdom." A week after the Saltykovs' disgrace, Ivan Khlopov received a royal letter: "We will not deign to take your daughter Marya for ourselves."

Insisting on her own, the nun Martha found Mikhail Fedorovich a new bride - the noble princess Maria Vladimirovna Dolgoruky from the ancient family of the descendants of the Chernigov princes - the Rurikovichs. The wedding took place on September 18, 1624 in Moscow. But a few days later the young queen fell ill and died five months later. The chronicle calls the death of Mary of God Kara for insulting the innocent Khlopova.

In 1626, Tsar Mikhail Romanov was in his thirtieth year and he was a childless widower. 60 beauties from noble families were brought for the new show. But he liked one of the servants - the daughter of the Mozhaisk nobleman Evdokia Streshneva, a distant relative of the hawthorn who came to the bride. A modest wedding took place on February 5, 1626 in Moscow. The young people were married by Patriarch Filaret himself, the father of the groom. Moreover, the tsar brought Evdokia into the Kremlin chambers just three days before the wedding was announced, fearing that the enemies would spoil the girl. Before that, her father and brothers themselves guarded her home. Evdokia refused to change her name to Anastasia, explaining that neither Anastasia Romanovna nor Maria Khlopova "added happiness to this name." It was far from the struggle of political "parties" at court and intrigues. The family life of Mikhail Fedorovich turned out to be happy.

Tsar and Grand Duke of Moscow and All Russia (1613-1645). The first Russian tsar from the Romanov dynasty.

Mikhail Fedorovich Romanov was born on July 12 (22), 1596 in the family of a boyar (about 1554 - 1633), who later became the Patriarch of Moscow under the name. He was a great-nephew (1557-1598), the last Russian tsar from the Rurik dynasty.

On February 11 (21), 1613, on the initiative of the boyars, Mikhail Fedorovich was elected to the royal throne by the Zemsky Sobor, which gathered after the expulsion of the Polish invaders from Moscow. His candidacy was supported by electives from nobles, merchants and Cossacks. The Romanovs were related to almost all influential boyars, and at the same time had a large number of supporters among the nobility and among the Cossacks who stood near Moscow.

The sickly, weak and weak-willed Tsar Mikhail Fedorovich did not play an active role in the government. In 1613-1619, he was under the influence of his mother and her relatives - the Saltykovs, then - his father, who actually ruled in 1619-1633 and even bore the title of "great sovereign", later - of individual boyars.

In domestic politics, Tsar Mikhail Fedorovich and Patriarch Filaret strove to consolidate the boyars and nobility split by the Troubles. Therefore, in particular, they did not encroach on the possessions of those who, during the years of the intervention, were guided by the Poles or had fled from one camp to another. In addition, Mikhail Fedorovich increased the term of the so-called lease years - the time for the search for fugitive peasants - from 5 to 10 years. During the reign of Mikhail Fedorovich, intensive construction of notch lines against the Crimean Tatars was carried out, and further colonization of Siberia took place.

A long series of military clashes with the Commonwealth, which lasted from 1609, under Mikhail Fedorovich was terminated by the signing of the Deulinsky armistice (1618). According to him, in particular, an exchange of prisoners was made and the king's father, Patriarch Filaret, returned. At the end of the treaty in 1632, hostilities resumed. The attempts of the tsarist generals to recapture Chernigov and ended in vain. In general, the unsuccessful Smolensk war of 1632-1634 had only one positive result - the Polish king renounced his claims to the Russian throne.

In 1624, Mikhail Fedorovich married Evdokia Lukyanovna Streshneva, the daughter of an ordinary nobleman. From this marriage six children were born: three daughters - Irina, Anna, Tatiana and three sons - Ivan, Vasily and. In 1639, within three months, the princes Ivan and Vasily died. The king suffered this loss very hard.

On July 12 (22), 1645, during a church service, Mikhail Fedorovich became ill, he was carried in his arms to the palace. On July 13 (23), the tsar died, having managed to bless his son to the imperial throne. Mikhail Fedorovich was buried in the tomb of the Moscow Kremlin.
