Elena Stroganova-Sheremeteva, daughter of GDss Maria Nikolayevna
AkshayChavan:
I wanted to know how were the relations between the Romanovs and Countess Elena Stroganoff-Sheremetieff the daughter of Maria Nikolaivena. Did the Romanovs consider her as a cousin? Was she accepted by the imperial family?
Marc:
I would also like to know more about that...anyone?
ukupeeter:
Countess Elena Stroganoff-Sheremetieff was not a part of imperial family.
Nothing more.:)
Romanovs accepted enyone, include peasant.
Only who has a big part in court from such people was count Sumarokov- Elston, Prince Jussupov , because they were a illegitimate branch of Hohenzollern.
AkshayChavan:
This whole "equal marriage" thing of the Romanovs really makes me mad. Stroganovs were far more ancient and owned millions of sq miles of lands when Romanovs were simply "upstart boyars". They came to throne just by accident of history and not by any divine right.
ukupeeter:
;D
You think?
Romanovs were very close to czars.
Ivan IV wife was Romanov,
Feodor I mother was Romanov,
and
father of Michail Romanov was head of Russian church.
