Romanov takes monastic vows and the name Philaret
1599 AD exiled
Godunov exiles his political opponent Feodor Romanov to this remote monastery. While many of his relatives were starved to death in other cloisters,
Feodor takes monastic vows and the name Philaret and is eventually raised to the dignity of hegumen (abbot) of the monastery.
On the death of the childless tsar, Feodor I, he had been the popular candidate for the vacant throne; but he acquiesced in the election of Boris Godunov, and shared the disgrace of his too-powerful family three years later, when Boris compelled them all into exile.
