Best Answer

It has been rumored that the Czar was murdered at the castle Ropsha by Alexius Orlov, Theodore Baryatinski and a group of compatriots, at the behest of Gregory Orlov (Alexius' brother,) Catherine's lover. Gregory hoped to be able to marry his mistress and become consort once Peter was out of the way, literally.
