DynastyRurik (claimed) Signature

False Dmitry I or Pseudo-Demetrius I (Russian: Лжедмитрий I, romanized: Lzhedmitriy I) reigned as the Tsar of all Russia from 10 June 1605 until his death on 17 May 1606 under the name of Dmitriy Ivanovich (Russian: Дмитрий Иванович). Dmitry ascended to the throne after the deposition of Tsar Feodor II and ruled for 11 months before he was assassinated in the 1606 Moscow Uprising [ru] and replaced with Tsar Vasili IV. Dmitry was a pretender who impersonated Dmitry of Uglich, a son of Ivan the Terrible, and his reign formed part of the Time of Troubles.
