The article analyses the unique masterpiece of Old Russian and world medieval literature «The Tale of Peter and Fevronia of Murom». The historical context of the work's creation is considered, the XVI century - the time of the formation of a united Russian state, followed by the unification of Russian culture. This work was written after the canonisation of Peter and Fevronia at the Moscow Church Council in 1547. By preserving folklore features in the hagiography, Ermolai-Yerazm created an amazing poetic tale of love and wisdom. The work demonstrates that Saints Peter and Fevronia, thanks to their extraordinary life, which is a testimony of wise marriage and the union of love, are known throughout the world as a triumph of faith, goodness and reason. Special attention is paid to the main idea of the story - the work shows that all troubles come to the world not only from the devil, the bearer of evil, but also from the self-interest, power-hunger and stupidity of people. The author of the Domostroy, the priest Sylvester, points out that the basis of any illness is sin; this idea is also found in the story under consideration. Future healing requires humility and repentance, i.e., every illness and event has a spiritual basis. It is difficult to establish exactly who can be called the prototypes of the heroes, but, as a rule, the prototype of the hero of the story - Prince Peter, is called Prince David Yurievich, who ruled from 1204 to 1228. The nature of David Yurievich's activities did not contradict the image of the holy prince, according to the hagiography he is known for his peacemaking activities. Taking place political events also were characteristic for that time when David ruled. It is necessary to note, that the annalistic name David does not cause contradictions as Russian Princes had two Christian names, and at tonsure in schema the first one was returned.
