Peter the Great built St. Petersburg and one of the most spectacular palaces in the world called Peterhof (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peterhof_Palace https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peterhof_Palace), a must to visit when you are there.
Peter himself didn't much care for grandeur and so had a very modest building for himself that is part of the tour of the palace, with lots of baths in it. There is a list of "Peter's Rules" hanging on the wall in that "small palace" that were enforced, very short, including:
- You can have one manservant only, no matter your position [the space was really small]
- You bunk where you are assigned to, no trading, and no complaining about it
- No boots on the bed
I love the reasonableness of these!
