Catherine I
1684 CE–1727 CE · St. Petersburg
Catherine I (1684–1727) was the second wife of Peter the Great and, upon his death in 1725, became the first woman to rule Imperial Russia in her own right. Of humble Baltic origins, she had risen to become Peter's empress consort and was crowned by him during his lifetime. Her brief reign was largely directed by her close ally Prince Alexander Menshikov and the newly created Supreme Privy Council. She died in 1727 after ruling only about two years, and was succeeded by Peter the Great's grandson, Peter II.
