Fyodor II

 Russian Fyodor Borisovich Godunov

(born 1589—died June 10, 1605, Moscow, Russia) Tsar of Russia for three months in 1605, during the Time of Troubles. The son and successor of Boris Godunov, Fyodor was immediately challenged by the first False Dmitry. After his military commander shifted his support to the pretender, Fyodor's mother tried to take power. Her action angered the boyars, who provoked a Moscow mob to riot and murder Fyodor and his mother. The pretender then assumed the throne.
