Russian heir born
10/11/1552 AD born
Anastasia gives birth to a son, whom they named Dmitri, presumably after ancestor Dmitri Donskoy.
During a severe illness, Ivan asked the boyars to take an oath, making his infant son his heir apparent and the first Tsesarevich.
However, the boyars were not very happy about this, as they wanted to see Ivan's cousin, Vladimir of Staritsa, succeed but they reluctantly accepted.
Historians cannot agree whether this episode occurred in 1552 or 1553.
Prior to Dmitry, Anastasia and Ivan had two daughters, Anna and Maria. Both died in infancy, Anna at the age of eleven months and Maria before her sixth month.
