Katherina II
Today we will dig into the Russian law of inheritance of the throne!
We all know that there were four female tsars in Russia, namely Caterina I , Anna I, Elizabeth I, and Caterina II. The most famous of these four female tsars is Caterina II. The first three female tsars were covered by Ye Er's glory, and it seems that some are unknown~
Of course, the succession of these four female tsars did not ascend the throne according to the provisions of the throne inheritance law, but all ascend to the throne through bloody palace coups or conspiracy to interests!
No matter how he ascended the throne, if the female tsar exists in Russia, it means that Russian society allows the female tsar to exist!
Since Russia allows the existence of female tsars, how could it be when the last tsars Nicholas II and Queen Alexandra have a son at the point of giving birth to life?
Next we will learn about this history!
In fact, the reason why Russia never had a female tsar after Caterina II is inseparable from the reasons why Caterina II's own female tsar itself.
We all know the brilliant political achievements of Caterina II, but her private life is so chaotic that the life experience of her only son Paul I is suspected.
And the change in the Russian law of succession to the throne came from her only son, Tsar Paul I! Tsar Paul I had a very bad relationship with her mother, and the two were simply in the same position!
Paul I looked down on his mother and raised his lover so much that he disrupted the court, and also considering the chaotic Russian way of succession to the throne. So after his mother passed away, he changed the law of inheritance of the throne. Paul I signed a new law on the succession of the throne in 1797, stipulating that the eldest son inherited the throne and that the monarch shall not designate an heir without authorization.
From then on, this bill completely blocked the possibility of women inheriting the throne. This law was used until 1917 until The Romanov dynasty was destroyed.
Paul I
This explains why Nier and Queen Alexandra gave birth to a son for life! !
