Agrippina Fedorovna Chelyadnina belonged to the elite of courtiers through her family connections, and was since at least 1518 a noble childless widow when she was, shortly before the death of Vasili III of Russia, assigned as the royal governess of the next Tsar, Ivan, in 1533.

After the death and suspected poisoning of the regent tsarina dowager Elena Glinskaya in 1538, Agrippina Fedorovna Chelyadnina was arrested alongside the boyars I. V. Shuysky and B. V. Shuysky. She was forced to become a nun.
