Empresses Consorts of the Romanov Family {03/16}: Maria Ilyinichna Miloslavskaya.

"Maria Ilyinichna was a younger daughter of the noble Ilya Danilovich Miloslavsky and Ekaterina Fedorovna Miloslavskaya. In 1647, tsar Alexis I of Russia reached the age required for marriage. The tsar was to choose his bride from a bride-show of hundreds of daughters of the nobility, who were summoned to the imperial court for selection. Maria, who was reportedly a beauty, was selected as the tsar's second choice (he had initially chosen Euphemia Fedorovna Vsevolozhskaya, but she was disqualified on charges of epilepsy). The wedding was conducted on 16 January 1648 in Moscow and is described as a happy one; the couple had 13 children, including Tsar Feodor III, regent Sophia and Tsar Ivan V. Tsaritsa Maria fulfilled her expected role both in regard to charity and religion, despite the fact that russian noblewomen were expected to live their lives in seclusion, with as little contact with men as possible. Maria died after having given birth to Eudoxia in 1669. When she died, it was first believed that her widower would never remarry."

Empresses Consorts of the Romanov Family {02/16}: Eudoxia Streshneva.

"Michael married twice. His first wife was Princess Maria Vladimirovna Dolgorukova, of Rurikid descent, but she died only four months into the marriage. The following year, 1625, he married Eudoxia Streshneva, the daughter of a boyar who had gone off to serve in the tsar's army and a mother who died young, leaving her a virtual orphan. Raised by a wealthy relative in the tsar's court in Moscow, she attracted Michael's attention with her beauty, modesty, and pleasant demeanor. He was also moved by her plight as an orphan and refused to change his mind despite his family's - specifically his mother's - objections. Together, he and Eudoxia would have ten children; four would survive to adulthood, and one would claim the throne."
