Peter ll
Pyotr Alekseyevich Romanov. Born 1727, died 1730. I inherited the throne at age twelve, and did not do much for the country. I mostly sat around and enjoyed a lavish lifestyle.

CLAUDIA D'AREZZO

It is early in the morning of January 19, 1730, and I am very ill. The doctors say it is smallpox. I do not want to believe it. I do not wish to leave my country, my throne, my soon-to- be-wife, my lavish lifestyle full of amusements and entertainments. Many say that this last thing is what defined my rule, and that I did not do much good for my country. I wish to prove them wrong. I fear, however, that I will not have the chance.

Peter II has not reached the age when a person's personality has already shaped. While contemporaries praised his natural intelligence and good heart, they only hoped for that good to happen in the future. However, his behavior did not give chances to hope that he would be a good ruler. He hated learning and thinking about national affairs. He was totally engrossed in amusements, and was kept under someone else's influence.

In an effort to strengthen serfdom in Russia, I have banned serfs from entering the military, and therefore escaping their owners.

I, the grandson of Peter the Great, inherit the throne at the age of 12. I will have many advisors and tutors to help me rule the country at such a young age.
