 | | Aleksandr Pavlovich Romanov or Tsar Alexander I (The Blessed), (Александр I Павлович) (1777 - 1825), Emperor of Russia (reigned 1801 - 1825), son of the Grand Duke Paul Petrovich, afterwards Paul I of Russia, and Maria Fedorovna, daughter of Frederick Eugene of Württemberg was born on December 28, 1777. |
 | | He had been married, in 1793, without his wishes being consulted, to the beautiful and amiable Princess Maria Louisa of Baden (Elizabeth Feodorovna), a political match which, as he regretfully confessed to his friend Frederick William of Prussia, had proved the misfortune of both; and he consoled himself in the traditional manner. |
 | | The two children of the marriage, a little grand-duchess Elizaveta, died on the 12th of May 1808 and the other little grand-duchess Maria, that died six years earlier on 26 of Jun. (or 8 of Jul.) 1800; and their common sorrow drew husband and wife closer together. |
