Succession to the Throne in Early Modern Russia: The Transfer of Power 1450–1725
Bushkovitch, Paul (Yale University, Connecticut)
This revisionist history of the transfer of the tsar's power in early modern Russia, from the Moscow princes of the fifteenth century to Peter the Great, overturns generations of scholarship to argue that legal primogeniture never existed: the monarch designated an heir that was usually the eldest son only by custom, not by law.
