  6. 'And among other discourse, there was some of Sir Jerom Bowes, Embassador from
    Queene Elizabeth to the Emperor of Russia, who, because some of the noblemen there
    would go up-stairs before him he would not go up till the Emperor had ordered those
    two men to be dragged downstairs with their heads knocking against every stair till
    they were killed. And when he was come up, they demanded his sword of him before
    he entered the room. He told them, if they would have his sword, they should have his
    boots too. And so caused his boots to be pulled off, and his night-gown and night-cap
    and slippers to be called for... And lastly, when the Emperor in contempt to show his
    command of his subjects did command one to leap from the window and break his neck
    in the sight of our Embassador, he replied that his mistress... did make better use of
    the necks of her subjects.. .', Pepys's Diary, 5 September 1662.

  7. It would appear that the Tudors relished their dealings with Ivan the Terrible - which
    may explain their reluctance to heed Polish warnings about the nature and designs of
    the Muscovite state. (See note 10 below.)
