	Marie of Edinburgh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		King Ferdinand and Queen Marie of Romania, photographed in Belgrade in 1923 at the christening of her grandson Prince Peter of Yugoslavia.
		In 1914, Carol I died and Ferdinand ascended the throne of Romania.
		Ferdinand and Marie's son, the crown prince Carol (later King Carol II), was never close to his father—by the time Carol was an adult, their antagonism became an "open breach" (Easterman, 1942, 29)—but there continued to be a "deep bond of affection and sympathy" between Carol and Marie.

	Blouse Roumaine // Free Excerpt - Ileana Malancioiu // Selected & Introduced by Constantin Roman
		Romania’s political dilemma between 1914 and 1916 in entering the war on the side of the Allies, caused her to sit on the fence as a neutral country for two good years.
		The Queen’s beauty was matched by an astute and very intelligent mind, which made a good case for Romania’s sacrifices on the side of the Allies and for the commensurate retribution that it deserved.
		Marie’s crucial role on behalf of Romania had met with extreme if opposing assessments in a historical analysis context: she may have been either romaticised and even sometimes belittled.

	Romanian 'Maori' Huts
		Marie was to become one of the most glamorous, unconventional and charismatic royal consorts of the early twentieth century, playing a much publicised role in the creation of Greater Romania after the First World War and acting as a lively promoter of Romanian art and culture.
		Marie seems to have understood this: in her lively rejection of academic historicism she established herself as a champion of new directions in the country’s fledgling art scene, promoting the applied arts and helping to allay King Carol’s suspicion of progressive artistic societies such as Tinerimea artisticà (Artistic Youth) of which she was patron.
		Marie’s flawed appropriation of a symbol of the Maori cosmos can be read as a microcosm of her own artistic cosmos, embodying the elements of romance, otherworldly escapism and pagan mysticism with which she infused her living environment during her years as Crown Princess.

		Reproduced below is the official Romanian declaration of war with Austria-Hungary, delivered in a note by the Romanian Prime Minister, Ion Bratianu, to the Austrian ambassador in Romania on 28 August 1916.
		Romania's entry into the war was as much opportunistic as defensive - she hoped to make territorial gains from an Allied victory, and she in any event held a long-standing enmity against Austria-Hungary.
		Romania's response was straightforward: she argued that the political conditions that applied when she undertook her former alliance (in the 1880s) no longer existed, not least because Italy herself had exited the alliance and joined the Allies fighting against Germany and Austria-Hungary.

		King Carol II, son of King Ferdinand I and of Queen Marie of Romania, Princess of Great Britain, was the first modern monarch to be born in the land in 1893.
		Even after his abdication, in 1940, Carol was a virtual prisoner in Franco’s Spain, before he managed to steal across the border illegally and settle in Portugal, where he eventually died to be buried in the chapel of his Braganza ancestors, in the ancient monastery of Sao Vicente da Fora.
		There is no wonder that the communist and post-communist governments alike found it politically attractive to indulge in the practice of re-burials of scores of notable Romanians who died in exile and whose earthly remains were going to be ‘reunited’ with their homeland.
