Peter the Great, the Tsar of Russia from 1682 until his death in 1725, had a total of 14 children, but not all of them survived to adulthood.
Peter’s marriage to Eudoxia Lopukhina produced several children, but their union was fraught with difficulties, and many of their offspring did not live long. He later married Catherine I, and together they had several children who played notable roles in the Russian imperial lineage.
Among his children, only a few reached adulthood, and they included Anna, Elizabeth, and Empress Catherine II’s husband, Peter III. The legacy of his children would continue to influence Russian history long after Peter’s reign.
In summary, while Peter the Great fathered 14 children, the harsh realities of life in the 17th and early 18th centuries meant that only a few survived to carry on his lineage.
