Empress Marie Feodorovna.
Marie Dagmar was a Danish princess who married the
future Alexander III. This was a case of opposites attracting. Two such
different personalities came together in harmony to produce a happy
family. Marie loved parties, people, dressing up, and all the gaiety
that court could provide. She was immensely popular with the Russians.
As Dowager Empress (widow) she had great influence over her son,
Nicholas II. During the 1917 revolution she fled the country, living out
her days in England.
