Sophia Razumovskaya

She was married to Peter Kirillovich Razumovsky, and the mistress of Paul I of Russia prior to his marriage, with whom she had a son, Semyon Veliky (1772–1794).

Sophia Razumovskaya was born to Stephan Fedorovich Ushakov and Anna Semyonovna.

Pending the plans to have Grand Duke Paul married, there were concerns as to whether he was sexually capable to have an heir, and Sophia was asked to investigate his sexual function by seducing him.

[1] She succeeded with her task and had a son with him, Semyon Veliky (1772-1794), whose upbringing was provided by the empress.

Paul married in 1773, and in 1776, Sophia remarried count Peter Kirillovich Razumovskiy, son of field marshal Kirill Grigorievich Razumovsky.
