Eudoxia Streshnyova (Russian: Евдоки́я Лукья́новна Стрешнёва, Yevdokiya Lukyanovna Streshnyova) (1608 – 18 August 1645) was the second wife of Tsar Mikhail. She was a daughter of a nobleman named Lukyan Stepanovich Streshnyov (d. 1630) from Mozhaysk, by his wife Anna Konstantinovna Volkonskaya.
Biography
Yevdokiya Streshnyova was chosen by the Tsar from several fair noble maidens and married him on 5 February 1626. She gave birth to ten children, six of whom died during her lifetime. Yevdokiya is known to have been in a difficult situation at the imperial court. It appears that the tsaritsa totally depended on her mother-in-law Marfa Ivanovna, whose firm grip had been felt in their everyday life. Both of them had the same confessor and diak. Marfa Ivanovna accompanied her daughter-in-law during all of her visits to monasteries and other places. She also chose tutors for her grandchildren. It also appears that Yevdokiya Streshnyova had no influence over Mikhail even after the death of Marfa Ivanovna. Yevdokiya Streshnyova died five weeks after her husband.
