Prince Ivan Shuisky. The governor of Ivan the Terrible

Ivan Petrovich Shuisky is famous for one victory. In 1581-1582, he defended Pskov, besieged by the first -class Polskolite army with a large contingent of Western European mercenaries and excellent artillery. At the head of the besiegers was a hitherto invincible commander - King Stefan Batoria. But this did not help the enemy: Pskov remained an impregnable stronghold. In fact, the city protected the rest of Russia from a deadly invasion of a powerful enemy.
However, in addition to the well -known Pskov victory about Prince I.P. Shuisky has something to tell: he represents one of the most powerful aristocratic genera in the Moscow kingdom, participates in many wars, campaigns, battles, learns great glory and dies from court intrigues. This is one of the most remarkable figures in the close environment of Tsar Ivan the Terrible
