Talk:Dmitry of Uglich

Old talk
We ought to have a standard version of this person's name, since it is also the name of three pretenders. PatGallacher 22:29, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

How many legitimate marriages?
There seems to be a discrepancy between this page and Irina Godunova on the number of legitimate marriages the church allowed.

This page says:

"The critics of this version point out that Dmitry was Ivan's son from his fifth (or seventh) marriage, and thus illegitimate by the canon law (a maximum of three marriages are allowed in the Russian Orthodox Church)."

Irina's page says:

"Feodor was physically and mentally frail and, were he to die without male issue, it was questionable whether his half-brother, Dmitri, would be considered legitimate, as he was the result of Ivan the Terrible's seventh marriage and the Orthodox Church recognized only up to four marriages as legitimate." --Óli Gneisti (talk) 19:06, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
