Abdul Mirza Yusufov, christened Dmitry and granted the title of Prince Yusupov by Feodor Ioannovich, once decided to play a joke on the Metropolitan of Moscow and served him goose on a fast day in the guise of fish. The Metropolitan was deeply offended and petitioned the Tsar to punish Yusupov. The Prince was deprived of half his property. The remainder, however, proved quite sufficient for a long while yet.
