A note on ‘Ivan the Terrible’ – in Russia, Ivan IV has the epithet ‘Гро́зный’ meaning ‘Great’ or ‘Formidable’. So why is he known as Ivan ‘the Terrible’ in English? Because he was evil or useless or because of anti-Russian bias? No, because ‘Terrible’ in English also means awesome or formidable – this was well understood when ‘Гро́зный’ was first translated into English centuries ago, but now fewer people understand this. (see definitions 3 & 4 here: http://www.dictionary.com/browse/terr…). The name stuck, and Ivan IV has been known as Ivan the Terrible ever since.

  1. I hope you enjoy the video. If you do, please remember to click the like and subscribe buttons, and even share it. Epic History TV is not a company or team of people, it’s just one guy, so support from viewers really helps. If you’re even able to pledge $1 or more per video to help grow the channel, that would be awesome – you can do it at my Patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/EpicHistoryTV
    Thanks for watching.

  2. – Muy mala traducción al español, muchas partes sin sentido y otras donde ponen palabras en inglés como si no tuvieran un equivalente en español, ejemplo: Time=Tiempo.

    Se nota que el que lo tradujo no es nativo del español.
