If that helps you guys feel better, Alexis was an asshole who regularly beat his wife; she died a week after giving birth to his child, which might be related to an incident where Alexis repeatedly kicked and stomped her while pregnant a few weeks prior
“You’re not worthy of the throne of Russia!!” “Yeah you know what? You’re probably right..I’m gonna head out!” *This enraged his father who punished him severely*
He was actually plotting and he wasn't a good person nether was his father he's wife died after giving birth and it wad widely known it was from him beating her and stomping on her belly a few days before
I mean.... He was communicating with and in support of basically all of his fathers opponents and enemies, and while this mentions him talking about leaving politics for good, that is not what he did, and if it had actually been what he did his father may well have accepted that. but he didnt go to a monastery(like he volunteered to do) he went to go stay with his fathers political enemies :I
And had they actually gotten their child to be a leader, that child might've been able to bring forth a golden age. But alas, most bookish children tend to avoid such turmoil, and simply retreated from the chase for the throne.
Not to defend Ivan the Terrible, but at least he struck his son by accident on the head in a fit of rage after they got into an argument and he had enough remorse to regret his action as he wanted his son to rule after him. Which makes sense since he did have a good relationship with the child's mother unlike Peter the Great.
Politics aren't personal after all. Ivan actually respected that in ways you wouldn't think with the name and reputation of "The Terrible" would, but he did. It's one of the many controversies about him when looking at him both as a hero and as a villain. Peter the Great was just straight out making it personal when it came to Alexei simply because he didn't get along so well with Alexei's mother.
Tsar Peter was insane. When his first wife cheated he beheaded her and then gave an anatomy class to his nobles using her severed head before kissing it, dropping it on the ground, and walking off like nothing happened.

There is much more to this story than can be fit into a short. There's a good reason Peter forced Alexis' mother into a monestary. And those reasons also stoked Peter's suspicions that Alexis was plotting against him.
Both Tzars in question were responsible for seismic changes in the society and strengthening of the power they wielded, but despite that both left a power vacuum after their passing due to having no male heirs. More relevant to their personality and moral character, both were raised in courts beset by intirgues and plotting boyars and barely held to their power during the initial stages of their reign.
@@deismaccountant yup. Just look at the Ottomans and the lovely, lovely traditions they had in order permanently solve the inheritance disputes and nulify the potential for the other children of the former ruler to stake any claims after the chosen successor ascended the throne.

And in Russia such ruthless decisions were personally madd by the most ruthless rulers overwhelmed by their worst impulses.

How about Suleiman the Magnificent? Sure, he started off good, but as he aged, his paranoia put a horrid strain on his relationship with *all* of his sons (and got them all killed!)
Ivan was not really this bad, he was a terrible human being which is evident by his title "The Terrible" but he wasn't a very bad parent, he had a good enough bond with his son and really loved him but he was just a bit too controlling and his anger was a big issue.
You can be a great ruler or a great parent. Pick one. Seriously, as a ruler, Peter the Great was actually pretty damn good. Meanwhile, it feels like every historical ruler I've ever heard of who had a good relationship with their kids were awful rulers.
@@fr4rq236 Yeah. He is worthy of a mention here. He gave Alexander a chance unlike anyone else could have possibly had. And Alexander used it unlike anyone else could have. We know he was a good ruler. ANd we know Alexander was a great conqueror. Though, i don't know what their relationship was, and it's unknown if Alexander himself arranged for his assasination.
Sometimes you just get lucky. Take Kangxi, Yongxheng and Qianlong Emperors of China. Three dudes ruled China for around 135 years, the population doubled and was prosperous, took China to its greatest height. Not sure how good of a father they were though, it's pretty clear from the records all three were workaholics.
This is what bothers me about Ivan “the terrible” and Peter “the great” They both expanded Russia, they both killed their son. But Ivan did it in a blind fit of rage and was horribly distraught about it afterward. Peter planned that out and reveled in it. And then went on to ignore and mistreat Alexai’s son Peter.
Yes and no. Members of royal families (even distantly related ones) can often find support for them taking over the throne generally in return for titles and money, they don't even need to be that willing for someone else to talk them into it or just claim they're supporting them.
Alexei probably would have been safer if he actually stayed in the monastery. The Russian Orthodox Church was already under the thumb of the state, but even a radical like Peter would have found the vows of monkhood an acceptable end for his son, just like many rulers that delt with unwanted wifes and relatives that way, so he would see no need to touch his son. Instead, Peter saw in Alexei's flight to Austria all the proof he needed of his son's being either a plotter or a tool used by people plotting against him.
I mean.... He was communicating with and in support of basically all of his fathers opponents and enemies, and while this mentions him talking about leaving politics for good, that is not what he did, and if it had actually been what he did his father may well have accepted that. but he didnt go to a monastery(like he volunteered to do) he went to go stay with his fathers political enemies :I Also, his son did not renounce his claim to the crown, he just agreed with his father conversationally when he came at him(trying to avoid him)
And Russia wonders why it has such a bad reputation when ALMOST every leader of the country has been terrible lol (I'm sure there's been some good ones too)
Elizabeth (Daughter of Peter) imprisoned an infant and kept him there for the entire of his life while she was committing adultery. I know other monarchs done it but it wasn’t right when they did it and it wasn’t right when she did it.
I think he did that because he was probably expecting his son to beg not to be disinherited. Not willingly abdicate his position. He wanted power over his son. Knowing that he held the role of king iver his head and could take it away at any moment. So when his plan backfired, he got exceedingly angry. Thus murdering his child
Well another factor that I think might influence his decision is, Alexei is his son through his first wife a wife arrange by Peter the Great Mother to stop him from playing with woman outside of marital ties, but Peter hates her and like to live with his Mistress
Tsar Peter seemed to forget that maybe if your child hasnt been raised up to standard, maybe you the parent should have done better. Who am I kidding rich people havent changed

I mean, Alexey kinda asked for it. He was speaking with enemies of his father, was known for wishing him death and speaking of how it would be great to overthrow his father. So he really should've go to monastery if he wanted to live without being an heir
I have a idea maybe for best moms in history you should put Marie Antoinette even though she didn't have kids, she still adopted like really poor ones and took care of them like they are her own
I have one for the best sons Philip Hamilton (Son of Alexander Hamilton and Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton) He had a great relationship with his mother when he was younger learning French and piano. And defended his father’s legacy when he duel George Eacker after he said that Alexander was a “rascal”. Philip did not shoot but rather aimed his pistol at the sky. Eacker the followed suit. They stood there for a minute, This next part is foggy. Eacker either got bored and shot him or he accidentally fired. Either way Philip got shot and died the next day in his aunt Angelica’s house. Philip deserves to talked about more.

“Peter the great poor parenting” nah that should be changed to absurd parenting. He killed his own son cuz he thought he’d overthrow him, after the fact Peter literally disinherited his son from the throne.
Peter was a better father-figure to Abram Gannibal than his own flesh-and-blood son. Abram shared his love for rockets and engineering. Alexei preferred books and orthodoxy.
The son betrayed him and escaped in Europe, so this is the reason why Peter executed his own son And yet, he still was a father - Peter blamed himself for executing his own son
I find it crazy that Ivan the Terrible accidentally murdered his son and spent the rest of his life filled with guilt and prayed to god for forgiveness afterwards and HE gets the reputation as the blood thirsty tyrannical maniac, meanwhile Peter intentionally plotted to have his son killed and never repented and he gets to be the “great modernizer” and “reformer”

Hey, he might actually be the worst so far. Lured his son back to torture him to death after he had already agreed to step aside.
It has to be some complicated plot against the emperor
He didn't actually want to disinherit him but threaten him.
But backfired.
Nah bro Ivan is the objective worst
He wasn't supposed to die. He was beaten with, what my book on Peter calls, "the Knot". Few survived 25 strokes, he was given more. Still alive, but in bad shape, rinse-repeat, death. Peter was nearly 2metres tall (6'6" - 6'8"), physically strong to a level that shocked most men, with an absurd inhuman pain threshold; his idea of play caused casualties - his idea of punishment was......

He does not live up to his name in terms of parenting
"hi there your father told me to torture you" -torturer
Remember to update the playlist!
Man said "I don't want your throne" and Peter took that personally.
“the current one” wild
The son betrayed him and escaped in Europe, so this is the reason why Peter executed his own son
And yet, he still was a father - Peter blamed himself for executing his own son
Of course he should blame himself, he's the one who ordered it
"Congratulations! You just won our game, who's going to the retirement homee 😊"
I think that story of Ivan the terrible and his son is also intresting one
Historically accurate quill pen!!! I enjoy to see it
Bro went: real life lore
Can't even imagine this insanity man
I have a book about every Tsar of Russia, and it mentions this event.
Random dad: "Oh, a father would never hurt their son, only other fathers can understand"
Other fathers:
I find it crazy that Ivan the Terrible accidentally murdered his son and spent the rest of his life filled with guilt and prayed to god for forgiveness afterwards and HE gets the reputation as the blood thirsty tyrannical maniac, meanwhile Peter intentionally plotted to have his son killed and never repented and he gets to be the “great modernizer” and “reformer”
Alexi eating the sword 💀 💀 💀
the fact i heard austria shocked me cuz i live in austria
Dang the dad must be depressed with none
We need history like this to understand why Russia is Russia. From Tsars, Lenin, Stalin, Nikita Khrushchev and others. They basically learned from history and to be blunt, their history is quite dark.
я ждал упоминания петра Первого очень давно и дождался
Monasteries are for men who study religious practices
😂 at least he wasn't Putin. Love the transition.
how so
Famous russian rulers try not to kill their sons: Challange impossible
The way the torturer waved hi.
That Ivan the terrible was a terrible dad everyone knows (from Repin's painting). I didn't know that Peter the great wasn't a great father, though.
why can’t bro just be my history teacher 😭
I suggest one more worst dad in history: Yeongjo of Joseon(even though in this case the crown prince was kind of worst son of history)
Honorable mention to Ivan IV
Alexei? ALEXEI? VERIFY YOUR CLOCKS, MIDNIGHT IS COMING!
Ah yes the 'Im going to criticise you to motivate you' approach...Helll no!
Well there is the great start😂😂😂😂😂.
