    Why did Ivan the Terrible get in a fit of rage when he killed his son?

    Question #102966. Asked by SiegeTank55. (Feb 12 09 8:57 PM)

    		Funny story, that.

    In 1581, Ivan beat his pregnant daughter-in-law for wearing immodest clothing, which may have caused a miscarriage. His son, also named Ivan, upon learning of this, engaged in a heated argument with his father, which resulted in Ivan striking his son in the head with his pointed staff, causing his son's (accidental) death.
