Elizabeth Petrowna was Empress of Russia. She was born in 1709 or 1710 and died in 1762. The daughter of Peter the Great and Catharine, she ascended the throne on the 7th of December 1741, as the result of a conspiracy, in which Ivan VI, a minor, was deposed. Elizabeth is said to have rivalled her mother in beauty, and to have surpassed her in her love of pleasure, and her government was largely conducted by favourites. She was a patron of literature, founded the University of Moscow, and corresponded with Voltaire. A war with Sweden, in 1743, was advantageously concluded by the peace of Abo. She sent an army, in 1748, to assist Maria Theresa in the War of the Succession, and joined in the Seven Years' War against Prussia. Research Elizabeth Petrowna

She also resided for some time in Norway. She wrote an account of her travels; but her fame chiefly rests on her novels, which were translated into German and French, and into English by Mary Howitt.

Gustav Moritz, Count of Armfelt, was a Swedish soldier. He was born in 1757 and died in 1814. Though he had been highly favoured and loaded with honours by Gustavus III, he incurred the enmity of the Duke of Sudermania, guardian to the young king, Gustavus IV, and was deprived of all his titles and possessions. He was restored to his fortune and honours in 1799, when Gustavus IV attained his majority, and held several high military posts. Ultimately, however, he entered the Russian service, was made count, chancellor of the University of Abo, president of the department for the affairs of Finland, member of the Russian senate, and served in the campaign against Napoleon in 1812.
