  Maria Fyodorovna - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Maria Feodorovna, born Princess Dagmar of Denmark (November 26, 1847–October 13, 1928) was Empress Consort of Russia.
Maria Feodorovna was the younger sister of Alexandra, Queen Consort of King Edward VII and mother of George V of the United Kingdom, which helps to explain the striking resemblance between Nicholas II and George V.
Maria's later years were clouded by the deaths of many immediate family members even though she would not openly acknowledge the massacre of her son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren.
