On November 19, 1581, Ivan beat his son's pregnant wife because he was angry with her because of the clothes she wore. She miscarried the baby as a result of the beating. His son argued with Ivan about this beating. In a fit of rage, Ivan struck his son on the head with an iron-tipped staff. The son lay in a coma for several days before he died of the festering wound. Ivan had always had a good relationship with his eldest son, and was overcome by grief, beating his head againt his son's coffin. He did later show some remorse over his son's death.
