Ivan 'Grozny' was the first Russian ruler to take the title Czar (from Caesar). Ivan was only 3 years old when his father died in 1533. He was able to dictate the terms of his reinstatement and gain almost absolute power.

How were Ivan IIIs marriages politically motivated?

Ivan III's marriages were strategically designed to strengthen political alliances and consolidate power. His first marriage to Maria of Tver united the Grand Duchy of Moscow with the influential Tver family, enhancing his claim to legitimacy. His subsequent marriage to Sophia Palaeologina, a Byzantine princess, further linked Moscow to the legacy of the Byzantine Empire, bolstering Ivan's aspirations of being a successor to Byzantine authority. These unions not only fortified his political standing but also helped to legitimize his rule in the eyes of other nobles and territories.
