- Abstract
- Ivan IV the Terrible after his solemn coronation in 1547 adopted the title «tsar» of Russia. At the same moment the Muscovite court established privileged relations with the Chilandar monastery on Mount Athos, the tsar becoming a new «founder» or ktitor of this previously “imperial lavra” of Serbian rulers. This patronage on Chilandar, disputed between Russia and the princes of Walachia, as well as rich gifts to the monastic community were intended to ascertain the recognition of the new ambitious title abroad.
