Talk:Feodor I of Russia

Time of Troubles?

I edited one of the paragraphs under "reign" to remove repetition. Here is the original paragraph (a mess).

Feodor was only the nominal ruler, having his duties handed over to his wife's brother and trusted minister Boris Godunov,[3] who would later succeed Feodor as tsar. Feodor's childless death left the Rurikid dynasty extinct, and spurred Russia's descent into the catastrophic Time of Troubles. Boris legitimized himself, after Ivan IV's death, as a de facto regent for the weak and disabled tsar Feodor.[4] Feodor's failure to sire other children brought an end to the centuries-old central branch of the Rurik dynasty (although many princes of later times are descendants of Rurik as well). Feodor was succeeded as tsar by Godunov, who had for many years ruled in Feodor's name. The termination of the dynasty can also be considered to be one of the reasons for the Time of Troubles. He died in Moscow and was buried at Archangel Cathedral, Kremlin.

The paragraph says that Feodor's death "spurred Russia's descent into the catastrophic Time of Troubles", and then says that "[t]he termination of the dynasty can also be considered to be one of the reasons for the Time of Troubles". Which is correct? X7 (talk) 06:36, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

Feodor and Irina's loving marriage

I cannot find a source for Feodor's marriage being unusually loving for the time and circumstances. It was added by an anonymous user in 2016 with no source and never questioned. I've tried to look through the internet in English and in Russian I translated through the automatic Google translation system and no results come up. Should it be removed? Why would a random user in 2016 decide to invent facts about the marriage of Feodor I? ~~ OswaldCD (talk) 10:16, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
