Maria Dolgorukova
In 1616, Shestova refused to accept the tsar's choice of Maria Ivanovna Khlopova, and Michael I had eventually been forced to give up his plans to marry her.In 1619, the tsar's father, Patriarch Philaret of Moscow, suggested he marry the sister of John, Prince of Schleswig-Holstein, but eventually, these negotiations were discontinued.There were rumors at the time that she had been poisoned by a court conspiracy,[3] determined to prevent any potential pro-Rurikid influence, or by the enemies of the Dolgorukov family.Chronicles called her death a divine punishment for the fate of the previous fiancée of the tsar, Maria Ivanovna Khlopova.[5] Maria Vladimirovna was buried in the tomb of the Russian tsaritas in the cathedral of the Ascension Convent, behind the left pillar by the western doors.
