Peter III was Emperor of Russia for six months in 1762. According to most historians, he was mentally immature and very pro-Prussian, which made him an unpopular leader. He was supposedly assassinated as a result of a conspiracy led by his wife, who succeeded him to the throne as Catherine II.

"OF ANHALT", DAUGHTER OF THE GERMAN PRINCE OF ANHALT-SERBST; LATER
"YEKATERINA/CATHERINE II""CATHERINE THE GREAT"; TSARINA/EMPRESS 1762-1796

Catherine the Great of Russia - aka Sophia of Anhalt-Zerbst, or Catherine
Alekseevna, Empress Catherine II of Russia was the wife of Peter III of
Russia. Became estranged from Peter soon after their marriage. She helped
to have him deposed with the aid of Grigori Orlov, Potemkin, Princess
Dashkova, and others. She succeeded him to the throne on 28 June 1762,
and the following day had Peter III imprisoned. She proclaimed that
Russia was in dire danger from foreign domination of her government, the
church, and the culture of the country were at stake, and the safety of
the nations welfare was in jeopardy. Her take-over was extraordinary
without any bloodshed. She broke off relations with Frederick II of
Prussian, and had her friend, Stanislaus Poniatowski, elected King of
Poland. She won two wars with Turkey; extending Russia's border to the
Black Sea. She imported German farmers from her country to populate and
farm this new aquisition - promising them they would be free of army
service. Her coronation at the Kremlin 22 September 1762 was the most
spectacular ever recorded in Russia. During her reign serfdom and misery
among peasants increased. But the borders of Russia expanded and increased
by her large conquests. She participated in the partition of Poland
(1772-1793-95).
She won victoris over the Turks in 1768=1772; and by Treaty of Kuchuk
Kainarja (1774) annexed the Crimea. She thoroughly identified herself
with the Russia people - although she herself was German. She died of
natural causes 5 November 1796.

{geni:occupation} XXXXXXXXXXX XX XXXXX, Herzogin zu Schleswig-Holstein, Gottorp

{geni:about_me} Grand Duchess Anna Petrovna of Russia, Tsesarevna of Russia (Anna Petrovna Romanova Russian: XXXX XXXXXXXX) Duchess of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorp by marriage.

Born: 27 January 1708, Moscow

Died:4 March 1728, Kiel

Father: Peter I of Russia

Mother: Catherine I of Russia

Spouse: Charles Frederick, Duke of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorp

Issue: Peter III of Russia

Grand Duchess Anna Petrovna was the elder daughter of Emperor Peter I of Russia and Catherine I of Russia. Her sister, Elizabeth of Russia, ruled as Empress between 1741 and 1762. Her son Peter ruled as Emperor in 1762 as Elizabeth's heir. She was the Duchess of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorp by marriage.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Duchess_Anna_Petrovna_of_Russia

Anna was born out of wedlock and was legitimized on the wedding of her parents in 1712. Her perceived illegitimacy caused several projects of matrimonial alliances to be turned down. It was finally decided that Anna would marry Charles Frederick, Duke of Holstein-Gottorp, a nephew of childless Charles XII of Sweden.

On 17 March 1721, Karl Friedrich arrived in Imperial Russia to get acquainted with his future wife and father-in-law. He aspired to use the marriage in order to ensure Russia's support for his plans of retrieving Schleswig from Denmark. He also entertained hopes of being backed up by Russia in his claims to the Swedish throne. Under the terms of the Treaty of Nystad Russia promised not to interfere in the internal affairs of Sweden, so his hopes proved ill-founded.

Another possible candidate as a husband was a grandson of Louis XIV of France; Louis d'Orléans, Duke of Orléans - the son of the Regent of France for the infant Louis XV of France and also the grandson of Madame de Montespan. Themarriages proposal was later ignored due to a difference in style of address. Anne was addressed as Her Imperial Highness and Louis was as His Serene Highness.

On 22 November 1724, the marriage contract was signed. By this contract, Anna and Karl Friedrich renounced all rights and claims to the crown of the Russian Empire on behalf of themselves and their descendants. As a result of this clause, the Emperor secured the right to name any of his descendants as his successor on the Russian throne, while the Duke undertook to execute the imperial will without any preconditions.

A few months thereafter, by January 1725, Peter the Great fell mortally ill. As the story goes, on his deathbed he managed to spell the words: to give all..., but could not continue further and sent for Anna to dictate his last will to her. By the time the princess arrived, the Emperor could not pronounce a single word. Based on the story, some historians speculated that Peter's wish was to leave the throne to Anna, but this is not confirmed.

The Duke and Anna wed after Peter's death, on 21 May 1725, in Trinity Church, Saint Petersburg. The couple had one child:

Peter Feodorovich of Holstein-Gottorp (21 February 1728 X 17 July 1762)

In 1739, Peter's father died, and he became Duke of Holstein-Gottorp as Karl Peter Ulrich. He could thus be considered the heir to both thrones (Russia and Sweden);

Ruled over the Russian Empire as Peter III, Emperor and Autocrat of All the Russias and was the husband of Catherine the Great of Russia

The Duke was admitted into the newly-established Supreme Secret Council and exerted a moderate influence on Russian politics. Catherine I's death in 1727 made his position precarious, as the power shifted to the hands of Alexander Menshikov, who aspired to marry the young emperor, Peter II, to his own daughter. A quarrel between the Duke and Menshikov resulted in the former's withdrawing to Holstein on 25 July 1727.

It was here that Anna died on 4 March 1728, within several days after giving birth to Peter, the future Emperor of Russia and progenitor of all the 19th-century Romanovs. She had barely turned 20 years old. Before her death, Annaasked to be buried in Russia, near the tombs of her parents in the Peter and Paul Cathedral. Her last will was executed on 12 November the same year.

According to contemporaries, Anna strikingly resembled her famous father. She was clever and beautiful, well-educated, was fluent in French, German, Italian and Swedish. It is also known that Anna was devoted to children and tookcare of her nephew, Pyotr Alekseevich, when he was neglected during the reign of Catherine I.

Legacy

The Order of St. Anna (or "Order of Saint Ann"; Russian: XXXXX XXXXXX XXXX) was a Holstein and then Russian order of chivalry established by Anna's Husband on 14 February 1735, in honour of Anna. The motto of the Order was "Amantibus Justitiam, Pietatem, Fidem" ("To those who love justice, piety, and fidelity"). Its festival day was 3 February.

Through her son she is an ancestor of Grand Duke George Mikhailovich of Russia - a pretender to the throne of Russia via his mother Maria Vladimirovna, Grand Duchess of Russia; and also of Nicholas Romanov, Prince of Russia.
