Tsar Paul I from the House of Romanov was Assassinated on 23 March 180. He was the successor to the Royal Family and succeeded the Throne at the age of 42. He did not take his position very seriously, occasionally playing around with the army uniforms for no reason other than his enjoyment and weakened the power of Landowners and Aristocrats, giving more power to serfs and the working class instead. To stop disease from spreading in the French Revolution he banned all import of books from foreign trade and forbade all travel out for the time being. After a Dinner Party the Tsar retreated to his room after which the conspirators of the crime assaulted two valets and broke in and murdered the Tsar.
