The series is entertaining, but after reading the 400! Page historical biography, I am disappointed at the historically incorrect expressions. Catherine did not become empress for many years after marrying Peter, who never fornicated with her. He was, in fact quite strange and immature, and did not have sex with Catherine. Upon the death of Empress Elizabeth, Peter only ruled for days before the public murdered him for Catherine to be the ruler . She was a great ruler, and changed the global consciousness of humanity.
