Who was Catherine’s brother?
John II
Manuel I
Peter II
Ferdinand I
Answer
Catherine's younger brother, Peter II, succeeded their mother as the Emperor of Russia at the age of 12. Due to his young age, a Supreme Privy Council was established to exercise regency. However, Peter's rule proved to be brief as he died of smallpox in 1730 at the age of 14, leaving the throne without a clear heir, which ultimately led to Catherine's own rise to power.
