Peter I (the Great) and his half-brother Ivan V ruled under the regency of his half-sister Sofiya from 1682 to 1689. When Peter became old enough, Sofiya was packed off to a monastery for her treachery. Peter and Ivan jointly ruled Russia until 1696 when Ivan died of one of the many illnesses he had suffered all of his life. Peter carried on alone and really came into his own.
