He died in 1533. At Vasili's death, his son, Ivan IV, was only three years old, and during his minority the princes Shuiski, Glinski, and Belski, his mother's relations, carried on the business of State. Among them and their quarrels the little prince was shamefully neglected. He was a child of wonderful natural ability, but he was allowed to grow up without restraint, and his worst qualities were developed. He was naturally cruel, and was allowed to torture animals and throw cats from the towe...rs of the IVAN IV 33 Kremlin for amusement. He was fond of reading, and was remarkably well read in the books of the time, which were principally religious works and chronicles. When he was seventeen, Ivan was crowned in the Cathedral of the Assumption, and took the title of Tsar of Muscovy. Two weeks later he married his first wife, Anastasia. At this time, a terrible calamity befell Moscow. The town was almost entirely built of wood, and even the streets, instead of being paved, were covered with planks laid on the ground.
