Maria Dolgorukova

In 1616, Shestova refused to accept the tsar's choice of Maria Ivanovna Khlopova, and Michael I had eventually been forced to give up his plans to marry her.

In 1619, the tsar's father, Patriarch Philaret of Moscow, suggested he marry the sister of John, Prince of Schleswig-Holstein, but eventually, these negotiations were discontinued.

There were rumors at the time that she had been poisoned by a court conspiracy,[3] determined to prevent any potential pro-Rurikid influence, or by the enemies of the Dolgorukov family.

Chronicles called her death a divine punishment for the fate of the previous fiancée of the tsar, Maria Ivanovna Khlopova.

[5] Maria Vladimirovna was buried in the tomb of the Russian tsaritas in the cathedral of the Ascension Convent, behind the left pillar by the western doors.
