Best Answer

Ivan IV Vasilyevich went "crazy" because of a Maine pinnacle of tragedy in his life, the death of his wife, Anastasia Romanov. After her death, he became suspicious of his boyars, due to their cruel treatment and abuse to him at his earlier age, since they began taking care of him when he was 7, after the death of his mother (with his father dyeing at the age of 3). He began assassinating the boyars, in his belief that they have poisoned his wife. After this is where his "craziness" begins to set in. Also, after the accidental murder of his son Ivan, he continues to go down hill with his mental state, continuously coming back to the orthodox church- pleading to repent for his sins.
