Ivan the terrible
Ivan the Terrible (this is his name in English; I believe a closer translation is Ivan the Fearsome) was a czar of Russia, where he lived.
Apparently, Ivan the Terrible died from a stroke during a game of chess with Bogdan Belsky. It was on the 28th of March in 1584. His son Feodor was unfit to carry on his rule which threw Russia into the "Time of Troubles".
Probably from 1480, when Ivan III (Ivan the Great) threw off Mongol rule and made Russia independent: he had imperial ideas, and his son was Ivan IV (Ivan the Terrible) who greatly enlarged it.
