This dance is an attempt to represent this amazing historical personality. Catherine I was the second wife and Empress consort of Peter the Great, whom she succeeded as Empress of Russia, ruling from 1725 until her death in 1727. Marta&(Her real name from birth) parents died during a plague epidemic, leaving five children. According to one popular version of the story, at the age of three Marta was taken by an aunt and sent to Marienburg. Marta worked briefly in the laundry of the victorious regiment, and also that she was presented in her undergarments to Brigadier General Rudolph Felix Bauer to be his mistress. She may have worked in the household of his superior, Sheremetev. She travelled back to the Russian court with Sheremetev&army. Afterwards she became part of the household of Alexander Menshikov, who was the best friend of the then Tsar Peter I. Anecdotal sources suggest that she was purchased by Menshikov. In 1703, while visiting Count Menshikov at his home, Tsar Peter I met Marta. By 1704, she was already well established in the tsar&household as his mistress, and gave birth to a son, Peter. In 1703 she converted to Orthodoxy and took the new name Catherine Alexeyevna (Yekaterina Alexeyevna). Emperor Peter the Great died without naming a successor. Catherine represented the interests of the "new men", commoners who had been brought to positions of great power by Peter based on competence. A change of government was likely to favor the entrenched aristocrats.
