On a previous thread, I discussed the possibility of Elizabeth Tudor getting married and the various grooms that would have been available to her. One of the most popular theories was what would have happened had she chosen one of her less likely suitors, Ivan the Terrible. So I am throwing this out there for discussion by request. Let's say Elizabeth sent her English ambassadors with a proposal of marriage in 1561 to the Russian court. Elizabeth is 28 and has never been married. Ivan is 31 and Elizabeth would be his seventh wife. Ivan accepts. What does a union between Russia and England look like? I anticipate this couple butting heads a lot, both headstrong and one crazy.
