Maria Buynosova-Rostovskaya was the daughter of prince Piotr Buynosov-Rostovskiy, and related to the Nagoi family.[1] The wedding to Vasili IV took place on 17 January, 1608.
She and Vasili had two children, Anna and Anastasia, however both died while still infants. [2]
In 1610, Vasili - a boyar who had overthrown the previous claimant to the throne, the 'false Dimitri' - was deposed.[3] After the deposition of her consort, Maria was forced to enter a convent, Novodevichy.[4] As a nun, she took the name Elena. Her youngest daughter, by then newborn, joined her and became a nun when adult.
Maria died at the Pokrovski, convent in 1625.[1]
