The Last of the Romanovs: Alexandra of Hesse

For almost a century Czar Nicholas II and his family has intrigued historians and history enthusiasts' alike. Whether it be Nicky & Alix's real love or their children who never grew up, or perhaps just the tragedy of them all and their fates; the Last Romanovs are easily a part of history that everyone has knowledge of and has a opinion on.

Alix of Hesse, later Alexandra Feodorovna, was a quiet, shy woman with strong moral convictions. Her husband and children were the most important part of her life. Everything she did, whether good or bad, was for her family's benefit. But at the same time her motivation to everything possible for good would lead to bad influences and shakey friendships that would ultimately cause harm.
