Long live Ivan the Sixth. I can't stand either Elizabeth or Catherine of Russia. There is no justification for imprisoning A child and stealing his birthright. But it's ironic (...) Elizabeth chosen successor ended up causing her in the end.
His siblings were released into the custody of their aunt in Denmark, the Danish Queen Dowager Juliana Maria of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel-Bevern, however, they practically lived under house arrest in that country and Juliana Maria would never visit them.
That little boy would've given away every ounce of wealth and power to simply be free. His captors were not just after power, they were depraved and totally evil.
Amazingly well researched. Poor poor innocent boy 😢
I know, I feel sorry for him, too.😢 I hate empress Elizabeth and the other people behind the coup.
thank you for the story. never heard of him and im a history freak,so i wonder how i missed this. Snt. petersburg was also my birth city.
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
