Ivan the Terrible was a cruel tyrant, who never knew the meaning of moderation; He drank too much, laughed too loudly and hated and loved too fiercely. And he never forgot anything. Ivan was definitely smart and despite his cruelty, his reign is known as one of the greatest rules in Russian history. His early rise to the throne showed his ugly traits, beautiful wife, his accomplishments as a Russian Tsar, and his death. Ivan was born in 1530; Ivan was only three when he inherited the Russian throne following his father's death. At the age of seven nobles of his court killed his mother by poisoning her. In his early teens, he started displaying some of his uglier qualities. He would throw live animals from towers and got pleasure from doing it. Ivan was Russia’s first Tsar at the age of seventeen. Three weeks after receiving this honor he got married. He had to choose his bride in a national virgin competition.
