Ivan Ivanovich Khovansky

Ivan Ivanovich Khovansky (Russian: Иван Иванович Хованский; died March 15, 1701) was a Russian boyar (noble) and the son of Ivan Nikitich Khovansky, an opponent of Peter the Great's reforms.

Life

The name of Ivan Ivanovich Khovansky was first mentioned among the royal court stolniks in 1664. In 1676, he was appointed room stolnik (Russian: комнатный стольник) of Tsar Feodor III of Russia. In 1682, Ivan Khovansky was granted the title of a boyar (which he would be stripped of later, but then regain). In 1700, Ivan Khovansky became involved in the case of a preacher and copyist named Grigory Talitsky, who would identify Peter the Great with the Antichrist (The Legend about Peter I the Anvichrist). Before the case was over, Ivan Ivanovich Khovansky died under guard on March 15, 1701.
