Feodor III of Russia

Tsar of Russia (1676–1682)

In the political history of Tsardom of Russia, Feodor III of Russia is one of the names the record keeps returning to.

The record lists Feodor III of Russia as Tsar of Russia (1676–1682).

Feodor III of Russia was born at Moscow in 1661. His recorded nationality is Tsardom of Russia.

The seventeenth century set the modern argument in motion: sovereignty, consent and the limits of a ruler's claim.

The offices held were Tsar of All Russia (1676–1682) and Head of the House of Romanov.

He is described as monarch.

What survives of a political career is usually not the speeches but the institutions left behind.

That the career was made in Tsardom of Russia is not incidental: the institutions available, the franchise, and the constraints of the moment all shaped what could be attempted.

Feodor III of Russia died in 1682, aged 21. The assessment continues, as it does for anyone who held power - which is the ordinary fate of a political life.
