    		Ivan IV of Russia was one such Czar. Ivan killed his son (supposedly accidentally) by striking him in the head with a staff after he and his son had a heated argument about Ivan beating his pregnant daughter-in-law.

    		Peter the Great is another czar who had his son killed.

    "All of Peter's male children had died—the eldest son, Alexei, had been tortured and killed on Peter's orders in 1718 because he had disobeyed his father and opposed official policies. At the same time, Alexei's mother Eudoxia had also been punished; she was dragged from her home and tried on false charges of adultery. A similar fate befell Peter's beautiful mistress, Anna Mons, in 1704."
