Marina Mniszech or Mnishek (Polish: Maryna Mniszech, IPA: [maˈrɨna ˈmɲiʂɛk]; Russian: Марина Мнишек, IPA: [mɐˈrʲinə ˈmnʲiʂɨk]; c.1588 – 24 December 1614) was a Polish noblewoman who was the tsaritsa of all Russia in May 1606 during the Time of Troubles as the wife of False Dmitry I. Following the death of her husband, she later married another imposter to the throne, False Dmitry II. A devout Catholic, she hoped to convert Russia's population to Catholicism.
