Ivan VI Antonovich (Russian: Иван VI
Антонович; 23 August 1740 – 16 July 1764), also known as Ioann Antonovich, was
Emperor of Russia from October 1740 until he was overthrown by his cousin
Elizabeth Petrovna in December 1741. He was only two months old when he was
proclaimed emperor and his mother, Anna Leopoldovna, named regent, but the
throne was seized in a coup after little more than a year. Ivan and his parents
were imprisoned far from the capital, and spent the rest of their lives in
captivity.
After more than twenty years as a prisoner, Ivan was killed by his guards when
some army officers attempted to free him. His surviving siblings, who had been
born in prison, were then released into the custody of their aunt, the Danish
queen dowager Juliana Maria of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel. They settled in Horsens,
where they lived in comfort under house arrest for the rest of their lives.
