A Bride for the Tsar: Bride-Shows and Marriage Politics in Early Modern Russia - NIU Series in Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies
Russell E. Martin
From 1505 to 1689, Russia's Tsars chose their wives through an elaborate ritual: the bride-show. Alongside accounts of sordid boyar plots against brides and the multiple marriages of Ivan the Terrible, this book offers an analysis of the show's role in the complex politics of royal marriage in early modern Russia.
