Notes about Elisabeth Catharina Christina van Mecklenburg-Schwerin

Haar pasgeboren zoon http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivan_VI_van_Rusland">Ivan werd in 1740 tot tsaar van Rusland verkozen, in opvolging van zijn groottante http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_I_van_Rusland">Anna I van Rusland. Anna Leopoldovna werd regentes voor de zuigeling-tsaar. http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivan_VI_van_Rusland">Ivan VI had de voorkeur gekregen op http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elisabeth_van_Rusland">Elisabeth Petrovna hoewel zij eigenlijk, als de dochter van http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_de_Grote">Peter de Grote en Catharina I, de troon hoorde te bestijgen. Dit was echter tegengewerkt door de regerende adel onder leiding van de Dolgoroekov-familie, die een hekel hadden aan alles wat aan http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_de_Grote">Peter de Grote herinnerde. http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivan_VI_van_Rusland">Ivan VI was een kerngezond kereltje en vormde dus een obstakel voor http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elisabeth_van_Rusland">Elisabeth. Daarom zette zij, samen met een aantal vrienden en haar toekomstige man, met behulp van de paleiswacht http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivan_VI_van_Rusland">Ivan af en liet hem gevangennemen. Hij werd in 1741 officieel afgezet en opgevolgd door http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elisabeth_van_Rusland">Elisabeth van Rusland. Alle leden van het gezin van Anna Leopoldovna werden gevangengenomen en brachten tot 1780 in gevangenschap door; velen stierven in gevangenschap. Omdat http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivan_VI_van_Rusland">Ivan er desalniettemin in slaagde vele machtige vrienden te verkrijgen, werd hij in 1756 apart opgesloten in fort http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sjlisselburg">Sjlisselburg, waar hij in 1764, volgens vooraf gegeven instructies, werd vermoord.
