    "The history of Ferrapontov Monastery was linked with important events at some crucial points during the conformation of the centralized Russian state, such as (...) the reign of the first Russian tsar Ivan IV (...)." (OUV) – "Together with Kirillo-Belozersk Monastery, it became the favoured place of worship and of endowment for many members of the Russian feudal aristocracy (...) and rulers, like Vassili III and Ivan IV." "The 16th century was the period of the monastery's greatest prosperity. Princes and tsars came to worship there and Ivan IV granted it special privileges and charters." (AB Ev)
