  Alexander Palace Time Machine - Grand Duke Mikhail Alexandrovich
The life and death of this third son of Alexander III served to punctuate the trials and promise of the last Tsar's reign, as well as the horror and brutality of the regimes that followed.
Grand Duke Mikhail Alexandrovich Romanov was born in St. Petersburg on December 9, 1878, the fourth child, and third son, of the Tsarevich Alexander Alexandrovich, and his wife, the former Danish Princess Dagmar, known in Russia as Maria Feodorovna.
However, by all accounts, she was quite content to be the "grand duke's woman," and bore the disdain of her Imperial in-laws with dignity.

For Russia was not ripe for liberty; and Alexander, the disciple of the revolutionist Laharpe, was—as he himself said—but "a happy accident" on the throne of the tsars.
Alexander, in fact, who, without being consciously tyrannical, possessed in full measure the tyrant's characteristic distrust of men of ability and independent judgment, lacked also the first requisite for a reforming sovereign: confidence in his people; and it was this want that vitiated such reforms as were actually realized.
Alexander, indeed, assisted Napoleon in the war of 1809, but he declared plainly that he would not allow the Austrian Empire to be crushed out of existence; and Napoleon complained bitterly of the inactivity of the Russian troops during the campaign.

Maria's father was Grand Duke Vladimir Cyrillovitch of Russia (although as we have discussed the legality of his marriage is in dispute), he was the only son of HIH Grand Duke Cyril Vladimirovitch and HIH Grand Duchess Viktoria Feodorovna (formerly HRH Princess Victoria Melita of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha).
The Emperor Nicholas II disapproved of the marriage between Grand Duke Cyril Vladimirovitch and Grand Duchess Viktoria Feodorovna because the two were first cousins and she was the divorced wife of HRH Grand Duke Ernst Ludwig of Hesse.
Grand Duke Cyril's marriage to Victoria was deemed unacceptable for a time because the Empress Alexandra was furious at Princess Victoria for divorcing her brother, Grand Duke Ernst of Hesse, although her brother was relieved they could separate after the death of Queen Victoria.
