  4. Was Ivan really “terrible”? You decide! Read below and answer on your notes sheet! Upon the death of his first wife in 1560, Ivan IV went into a deep depression. His suspicion that she had been murdered by the boyars only deepened his paranoia. He left Moscow suddenly and threatened to abdicate the throne. Leaderless, Muscovites (people of Moscow) pleaded for his return. He agreed, on the condition that he be granted absolute power of the region surrounding Moscow. He also demanded the authority to punish traitors and law breakers with execution and confiscation of property. Over the next 24 years, Ivan IV conducted a reign of terror, displacing and destroying the major boyar families in the region. http://www.biography.com/people/ivan-iv-9350679
