Whether this is BS or no, I haven't a clue, but wikipedia says that Ivan the Terrible and Erik XIV were actually in talks to marry Ivan's son Ivan Ivanovich to Erik's bastard daughter, Virginia.

Mind though, at the time this horse-dealing was going on, Virginia was still in the single-digits agewise.

But say for shit and giggles if nothing else, Ivan Ivanovich gets Virginia Eriksdotter (who'll probably change her name) as a wife. With his daughter as the future Russian czarina, can Erik keep his crown longer? And at the risk of offending Sweden, Ivan can't play the divorce card like he did with his first two daughters-in-law.

Or is this alliance between two crazy kings doomed to failure? All I can say about the little Ivanovich running around, is that the mad kings in Game of Thrones might have competition.
