- Short Description
- "False Dmitry I (Russian: Лжедмитрий I, tr. Lzhedmitriy I) (or Pseudo-Demetrius I) reigned as the Tsar of Russia from 10 June 1605 until his death on 17 May 1606 under the name of Dmitriy Ivanovich (Russian: Дмитрий Иванович). According to historian Chester S.L. Dunning, Dmitry was "the only Tsar ever raised to the throne by means of a military campaign and popular uprisings".
He was the first, and most successful, of three "pretenders" (Russian: самозванцы (sing.: самозванец), romanized: samozvanets) who claimed during the Time of Troubles to be the youngest son of Ivan the Terrible, tsarevich Dmitry Ivanovich, who had supposedly escaped the 1591 assassination attempt when he was 8 years old. It is generally believed that the real Dmitry Ivanovich died in Uglich in 1591. False Dmitry I claimed that his mother Maria Nagaya anticipated the assassination attempt under the orders of Boris Godunov and helped him escape to a monastery in the Russian Empire, the assassins killed somebody else instead, and he fled to the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth after he came to the attention of Boris Godunov who ordered him to be seized. Many Polish nobles did not believe the story of False Dmitry I but they nonetheless supported him." - (en.wikipedia.org 11.08.2021) - Entity Encoding
