Online Encyclopedia and Dictionary - Boris Godunov (1025 words) |
 | On his deathbed Ivan appointed Boris, together with the Romanovs, one of the guardians of his son and successor; for Theodore, despite his seven-and-twenty years, was of somewhat weak intellect. |
| Boris, however, would only accept the throne from a Zemsky Sobor, or national assembly, which met on the 17th of February, and unanimously elected him on the 21st. |
| Boris died suddenly (April 13, 1605), leaving one son, Theodore II, who succeeded him for a few months and then was foully murdered by the enemies of the Godunovs. |
