Sophia Palaiologina
The fall of Constantinople has presented us with the option of marrying into the former ruling class of Byzantium. Sophia Palaiologina hand in marriage would introduce the influences of Byzantine culture to court, strengthen our claim as the natural successor of the Roman Empire and torchbearer of the Orthodox faith, and any offspring of the Ruler Title would be able to claim their descent from the emperors of the fallen empire.

3337historical_info = flavor_mos.33.historical_info The marriage between Ivan III and Sophia Palaiologina introduced elaborate court ceremonies and etiquette to the Muscovite court, which helped to further its claim as the Third Rome. Sophia would give birth to eleven children and was to become grandmother of the infamous Ivan the Terrible. Her intolerance towards Mongol overlordship caused several diplomatic incidents and helped accelerate Muscovy's break from the Golden Horde in 1480.
