- When Peter the Great of Russia was 17 years old, he was married to a young noblewoman by the name of Eudoxia Lopukhina. It was a poor match--Peter was a fun-loving libertine, while his bride was stodgy and conservative.
From the Series: Private Lives of the Monarchs: Peter the Great - บันเทิง
The last time I was this early, Hannibal was still crossing the Alps.
It was pretty common for royals to have an arranged marriage and then one or both spouses have lovers on the side. You had the official royal issue being carried forward but there were always dozens of unofficial ones on the side usually taken care of but unable to inheret titles and poperty.
Interesting information, beautiful video! 🌼🌼🌼
Arranged marriages are bound to be loveless.

The mirror:"I believe I can solve this mystery "
Peter was not fond of women who weighed more than him apparently .

Perhaps a better title would've been "Why Peter The Great Wasn't a Good Match for His First Wife"
The title of the video gave me a great laugh for some reason!
There once was a lass called Youdoxia
But Peter found Anna Mounds more foxy-ia ,
Though fights did ensue,
And bedmates a few,
Sleep on the thrown was a bit quiet-ah
Any one been watching "The Great " on Hulu?
I wish they would make these videos just a little longer.....
They've got to make money, mate. You can watch the full documentaries on their cable TV channel.
We got the subscription. Cheaper than a lot of others, and the documentaries are pretty good. They are definitely more old school docs.
People always think that we give kings and politicians power, the fact is in most cases it’s taken, not given. See the difference.
if my first wife had that name id leave her too
If my wife weighed 200 more pounds than me , she wouldn't be around for long . "Eudoxia" sounds like a chemical used for killing insects .
It actually means "good deeds"
@Kristie C - Correct and this is why wealthy men had an obese wife and petite concubines .
Sir Richard Francis Burton and Victorian England is a prime example .
Burton wrote essays about this . ATB
Eudoxia????? Her name was Evdokia Lopukhina. 😂😂😂
His wife looked like Humpty Dumpty. Did she really look like that or was that the art style of whoever did that portrait?
Eudoxia???? What? Her name was Evdokia Lopukhina.🤦🏻♀️
I wonder what made Peter so great.. hmm.. nevermind, it's all in the name.
I HAD A WIFE THAT WANTED ME TO TRADE IN A 1963 OLDSMOBILE 88 CONVERTIBLE FOR A 1966 CORVAIR!!

SHE WANTED ME TO TRANSFER FROM AN NON COMBAT ARMY RESERVE SUPPLY OUTFIT INTO

I HATED ALL THINGS MILITARY,
AND REFUSED THE TRANSFER!!!
NEVER HAPPENED!!!
SHE WANTED ME TO QUIT MY
RAILROAD JOB, BECAUSE NONE OF HER GIRL COUSINS BOYFRIENDS OR HUSBANDS WORKED FOR A RAILROAD!
ALSO NONE OF HER FEMALE FRIENDS HAD HUSBANDS OR BOYFRIENDS WORKING FOR A RAILROAD!!
THIS EMBARRASSED HER!!!
I HAD A GREAT 30 YEAR CARREER
