At the age of sixty-seven, Catherine the Great disgraced herself by openly living with her lover, and giving him considerable power. She squandered Russian people's money on him. She attempted to get Austria and Prussia to invade France. She allowed her lover and his brother to launch a poorly thought out campaign to conquer India. When the King of Sweden refused to marry her daughter, unless there was a conversion to Lutheranism, Catherine flew into a rage, and died of 'apoplexy.'
