Paul was born in a golden era for the Russian Empire. His father's aunt, Empress Elizabeth, ushered in a new age of enlightenment and progress. Paul's father Peter was Elizabeth's heir, and Paul stood to inherit one of the most powerful thrones in the world one day. There was just one small hitch in that plan: Paul's mother, Catherine. You might kn...
Everyone knew that Paul's parents hated each other's guts—so when Catherine gave birth to a strapping young baby boy, many Russian nobles raised their eyebrows. Had they gotten over their differences for the good of the country...or had Catherine's wandering eye finally done a little more than look? Catherine's affair with a young officer was commo...
Paul's mother knew how to get things done. Born to a minor German prince, no one expected Catherine to amount to anything. Now, she was married to the heir to the entire Russian Empire, and she had a son through whom she could rule one day. She allowed the rumors about Paul's true parentage to spread; as far as she was concerned, anything that made...
Paul's mother had many enemies in court, but the greatest was the empress herself, Elizabeth. Elizabeth saw Catherine as nothing more than a baby-making machine, so once Paul popped out, she was done with her. That's when Catherine's worst nightmare came true. Before she'd even caught her breath, Elizabeth had Paul ripped from Catherine's grasp. Pa...
Moments after Paul took his first breath, the Empress told the midwife to take the child and follow her. Catherine watched as they walked away with her son—unaware that she wouldn't see the boy again for a month. Even then, after a very brief meeting, she didn't see Paul again until he was six months old. Elizabeth's message to Catherine was chilli...
Empress Elizabeth claimed her only concern was the future of Russia—but with no children of her own, it sure seemed like she wanted to be Paul's surrogate mother. The only problem is, Elizabeth was the obsessive type. She micromanaged every aspect of Paul's young life. Historians agree that her obsession with the boy caused more harm than good. Pre...
Empress Elizabeth was a truly horrible mother figure. At times, her overwhelming attention smothered the boy, while at others, she failed at the most basic aspects of care. Once, when Paul was an infant, he fell out of his crib in the middle of the night. And who was there to pick him up? No one! He screamed on the floor until he fell back asleep, ...
At least people could agree that Paul was a handsome boy, but that was about all he had going for him. Paul grew up lonely, desperate for attention, and frequently sick. Then, as if his life couldn't get even worse, he came down with a devastating case of typhus in his teens. He managed to recover from the disease—but it made its mark on him in the...
If you've ever seen a portrait of Paul I of Russia, you can't help but notice his distinct pug-nosed visage. Even royal portrait artists could only do so much to mask his...unique facial features. Well, sources claim he looked totally normal as a boy, and that typhus had warped his face. This poor guy can't catch a break! And I've got bad news for ...
It's easy to feel bad for young Paul. After all, he barely got to see his mother, his surrogate mother smothered him, and he nearly died before his sweet 16. But, let's not forget: Paul was a miserable little twerp throughout all of this. His tutor saw little of promise in him, complaining that Paul always rushed through things and loved to run his...
The eldest son of Emperor Paul I and Sophie Dorothea of Württemberg, Alexander succeeded to the throne after his father was murdered. As prince and during the early years of his reign, he often used liberal rhetoric, but continued Russia's absolutist policies in practice.
Paul I (1754–1801), the only legitimate son of Catherine II, should have become emperor right after his father Peter III’s death, but he ascended the throne only after the death of his mother.
