Romanov Relations is a popular multi-volume set of books, each volume offering a collection of both new and out-of-print articles, about the Romanov emperors, empresses, grand dukes and grand duchesses, as well as their descendants.

Volume Three features the following 4 chapters:

(1) The Romanovs in the Caucasus by Marie Tegulle

The bulk of this article focuses on the life and death of Grand Duke George Alexandrovich (1871-1899), the younger brother of Emperor Nicholas II, who – due to health reasons – was forced to live in the Caucasus region of the Russian Empire. He died at the age of 28, at Abbas-Tumani.

(2) Grand Duke Nicholas Alexandrovich: Life and Death of the Tsesarevich (1843-1865) by Emmanuel Fricero

This article (written in 1951) explores the life and death of the eldest son and heir to Emperor Alexander II and Empress Maria Feodorovna. Nicknamed “Nixa”, he was engaged to Princess Dagmar of Denmark (future Empress Maria Feodorovna). During a tour of southern Europe in 1865, he contracted cerebro-spinal meningitis. His health rapidly deteriorated, and he was sent to southern France, where he died on 24th April 1865, at the Villa Bermond in Nice.

(3) Emperor Paul I: Neither Demon nor Saint by Andrew M. Cooperman

For most of the three hundred years since his assassination, Emperor Paul I has either been demonized or canonized by historians. In truth, Paul I was neither demon nor saint, but rather a remarkable man who lived and reigned during an important time in Russia’s history.

(4) The Fate of the Romanovs: The Survivors by Professor Kent Sole and Paul Gilbert

The fate of Russia’s last Imperial Family is well known throughout the world. But what ever became of the other members of the Imperial House of Russia after the Empire was swallowed up by the Bolshevik Revolution? This examination explores the fate of the 53 members of the Russian Imperial Family, who were still alive when Nicholas II abdicated in March 1917.

Romanov Relations will be enjoyed by readers who have an interest in the Romanovs and their legacy, as well as providing a useful reference to writers and historians as they continue to unravel the mysteries and dispel many of the popular held myths surrounding the Romanov dynasty.

NOTE: Romanov Relations Volume I and Volume II are still in print, and available from my Romanov Bookshop.
