The time frame is 1492-1600. Your poem must be written in a medieval style that was popular from 1492-1600. In addition, it should cover an historic event in Russia during the period 1492-1600. Russian history during this time period is peppered with poetic fodder. Events include the reign of Ivan the Terrible (the first Russian Tsar), the Russo-Turkish War, the Crimean Campaign, the conquest of Siberia, Polish-Lithuanian raids, and the sea-trading blockade carried out by the Swedes, Poles and the Hanseatic League. Ivan himself wrote poetry, was a composer of considerable talent, and supported the arts. His Orthodox liturgical hymn, "Stichiron No. 1 in Honor of St.
Peter" and fragments of his letters were put into music in modern times. Sadly, Ivan accidentally killed his son during an argument.</SPAN></DIV>
