1. Grigori Rasputin was assassinated on December 29, 1916, by a group of nobles, led by Prince Felix Yusupov, who opposed his influence over Tsar Nicholas II and his family. They lured Rasputin to Yusupov's residence under the guise of an introduction to Yusupov's wife, but their real intention was to eliminate him. After offering him poisoned wine and cakes, shooting him multiple times, and beating him, they finally threw his body into the Neva River, where he drowned. The exact details have been subject to speculation, but this version is widely accepted, marking the end of Rasputin's controversial influence in the Russian royal court.

2. In 1788, King George III experienced severe episodes of mental illness, likely caused by a mental disorder, possibly porphyria. During these periods, he displayed intense agitation, confusion, and disorientation. His physician, Dr. Francis Willis, documented that the King made statements about "being composed of glass" and uttered the phrase "I am not what I was," leading to the belief that he thought he was turning into a teapot. Though historical understanding of mental illness differed from modern knowledge, it is widely accepted that King George III's mental health issues significantly affected both his personal life and his reign as the British monarch.

3. Ivan IV, the first officially crowned Tsar of Russia, reigned from 1547 until his death in 1584. Known for his efforts to centralize power and modernize the country, his rule was also marked by periods of extreme violence and instability, earning him the nickname "the Terrible." In 1581, an incident involving his son and heir, Ivan Ivanovich, occurred. During a heated argument, Ivan IV struck his son on the head with a pointed staff or scepter, causing severe injuries. Ivan Ivanovich died three days later, on November 19, 1581, which was a significant blow to Ivan IV's dynasty. While historical accounts offer varying details and motivations, this event remains a notable example of Ivan the Terrible's violent and unpredictable behavior during his reign, characterizing the tumultuous nature of his rule.
