Afrosinya

Afrosinya Fedorova (Russian: Ефросинья Фёдорова, romanized: Yefrosinya Fyodorova; c. 1700–c. 1750) was a Finnish woman sold into Russian serfdom after being captured in war. She became the concubine of Alexei Petrovich, Tsarevich of Russia, son and heir of Peter the Great and fled with him on 26 September 1716 from his father. Information provided by her was crucial in sentencing Alexei to death after their return to Russia.
