Titles, Ranks and Forms of Address
Kim:
Could someone please make a list of the Romanov men who were alive at the time of the revolution and what their titles were and why? Thanks, if anyone has the time to clear this up for me.
Kim:
So if:
Nicholas I - Alexander II - Alexander III - Nicholas II
Nicholas I - Konstantin - KR - Ioann
Nicholas I - Nicholas - Nicholas (Jr)
Nicholas I - Michael - Alexander (Sandro)
So I'm assuming that you are a Grand Duke 2 generations beyond the Tsar but not 3? Is that it?
then why was Vladimir of the same generation still a Grand Duke ???
Alexander II- Vladimir- Kyril- Vladmir
jackie3:
I figure, Vladimir was born in 1917 and by the 1920s (when Vladimir was still a child) his father had set himself as "Tsar-in exile" with the death of Nicholas, Alexis and Michael. So Vladimir was a "grand duke" because his father by that time was the de jure "tsar". Someone can correct me on this if I'm wrong.
Kim:
Oh so he changed it himself. I thought it didn't figure with the rest of the cousins, something had to be up. Thank you.
Louise:
Correct!! Kim don't get frustrated trying to figure out the connections. It will just take some time to make sense of it all. My suggestion to you is to read as much as you can on the Romanov's and sit for hours like I did and study the dang family tree. Most books should have some family charts. The one in The Camera and the Tsar is good and so is the one in Hessian Tapestry.
It really is fun once you can piece it all together!
