Romanov Rule

de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception 

Mikhail Romanov was born into a family of boyars in Moscow 417 years ago today, on July 22, 1596. Mikhail's ascension to the throne in 1613 brought an end to the Time of Troubles and marked the beginning of a 303-year-rule by the Romanov family.
