Footnote
Peter III Fyodorovich was Emperor of Russia from 5th January 1762 until 9th July of the same year. He was born in the German city of Kiel as Charles Peter Ulrich of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorp, the grandson of Peter the Great and great-grandson of Charles XI of Sweden. Being a German-born Prussian prince, he was an unpopular ruler and it was thought that he was giving many concessions to Prussia, which threatened the stability of Russia. After a reign that only lasted 186 days, Peter was overthrown in a coup d'état orchestrated by his wife Catherine II. He died shortly after under suspicious circumstances, which gave rise to many impostors pretending to be Peter III.
