And he became the royal court pobegivat with boyar children games to play. And the power he was prohibitive, and he was young but inexperienced joked with boyar children bad joke: grab someone by the hand - the hand off, grab someone's leg - a leg blown off.

Boyars came to the king Kartausu complain:
