Michael I of Russia
Mikhail I, Mikhail Feodorovich Romanov (In Russian Михаи́л Фёдорович Рома́нов) (July 12, 1596 - July 13, 1645), was the son of Fyodor Nikitich Romanov and Kseniya Ivanovna Shestova. Following the Time of Troubles, he was elected Tsar by Russian boyars on February 7, 1613, and became the first Romanov tsar. This was mostly because of the powerful position of his father who was Patriarch of Moscow and de facto ruler of Russia. The tsardom became hereditary in his house until 1762, when on the death of the Tsaritsa Yelizaveta, the Duke of Holstein-Gottorp, son of Peter the Great's daughter, succeeded as Peter III.
