1 The earliest indication of Simeon's enthronement can be found in a “petition” submitted to him by Ivan on October 30, 1575, in which the names of Ivan and his sons i appear without their customary titles. Since an imperial directive issued on September 17, > 1575, provides no evidence of any alteration in Ivan's titular status, the installation of l Simeon probably occurred during the period between these two dates. These documents J. are published in (Moscow, 1951),pp. 195-96; and (Img175) XXXII (1915), 524-25.

4 The date and circumstances of Leonid's death can be determined through a comparison of the following sources: ) [Moscow, 1963], p. 407) was mistaken in dating the execution of Leonid in the year 1573. Two directives issued by the archbishop on May 13, 1574, have been preserved; see (St. Petersburg, 1841), I, 352-53.

5 An order of September 30, 1575, directing military commanders mobilized on the southern frontier to assemble at Moscow for a sobor was published in H. H. (Moscow, 1790), XIV, 292, 305-7. Another version of the same document has been discovered; see KopemiHH, p. 153.
