His domestic rule was marked by the founding of the oprichnina, a 1,000-strong private army personally loyal to him. Its members wore all-black uniforms, and rode horses adorned with a severed dog’s head and a broom, signifying that they would first bite his enemies and then sweep them away.

His death was kept a secret for around one month so his army wouldn't become discouraged.

>He was hailed as "the new Scipio" for his six years of unbroken victories and for leading the Roman army where no Roman army had ever gone before. The triumphal raising of the True Cross in the Hagia Sophia was a crowning moment in his achievements.

Instead, he lived through battle after battle and losing against their new enemy onslaught and tarnishing his reputation for victory. he's been described by historians as having "lived too long"
