Jason Isaacs and Nicholas Hoult in season 2 of Hulu's 'The Great'. Warning for some foul language ;) Disclaimer: All rights go to Hulu and the creators of the show.
Peter III wasn't the son of Peter The Great but his grandson... Peter III was the son of Grand Duchess Anna Petrovna and her husband, the Duke of Schleswig-Holstein if memory serves me correctly. Elizabeth Petrovna had no children of her own and so adopted her sister's son as her heir. Elizabeth Petrovna had deposed her uncle's daughter who was ruling as regent for her infant son, Ivan VI.
Spoiler if you haven’t seen season 3: In retrospect, Peter falling into the grave triggered by his father ghost seems like a foreshadowing of what will eventually happen to him. He wasn’t able to break the curse.
@@Visplight If you want to be completely accurate there wasn't even a Czar anymore cause Peter the Great relinquished that title and replaced it with the Title of Emperor.
@@derbonuspool1274 His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Peter Alexeivich Romanov I: Supreme Autocrat and Tsar Of All The Russias is how he was formally addressed. So "Tsar" was still a title used when the state was being spoken of.
I feel like if Captain Hook finally killed Peter and went back to hunting and plundering and finally became a rich pirate, he would probably look like this
Jason Isaacs who has played Lucius Malfoy, Colonel Tavington, Field Marshal Zhukov, The Grand Inquisitor and others. And just to point out a major detail here: Peter The Great was not Peter III's father but his grandfather. The future Peter III was the son of Peter's daughter, Anna Petrovna. That explains how Empress Elizabeth Petrovna is his aunt. Elizabeth never had children of her own and so adopted her sister's son as her appointed heir.
why? in the intro of the show they clearly state that it’s not an accurate depiction of history. if they said otherwise, your statement would be understandable but they don’t so i don’t understand your hate for it. it’s a fun show.
