Paul I of Russia
Paul I (; "Pavel Petrovich") ( – ) reigned as Emperor of Russia between 1796 and 1801. Officially, he was the only son of Peter III and Catherine the Great, though Catherine hinted that he was fathered by her lover Sergei Saltykov, who also had Romanov blood, being a descendant of the first Romanov tsar's sister, Tatiana Feodorovna Romanova.
Sir James Wylie, 1st Baronet
Retired after the end of the war, Wylie practiced in Saint Petersburg. His reputation grew quickly. Successful operations on Danish ambassador, Baron Otto von Bloom, and later on Count Ivan Kutaisov, the Tsar's closest confidant, made him Surgeon-in-Ordinary to Paul I in 1799. When Paul I was murdered on 23 March 1801, Wylie embalmed the body and gave a certificate that the cause of death was apoplexy.
