Who is the rightful heir?

[Grandduchess Valeria]

Interesting point I find that also Georgi Yuryeski (greatgrandson of Alexander II and Ekaterina Dolgorukaya) is in discussion. Though his grandfather was born illegimate he has more russian blood in him than some of the romanovs today and before. Think about, that the tsars do not marry a russian woman since Peter III. who himself was just halfblood russian (besides the theory that Paul was not his son). S

If you're gonna bring up Russian blood then you have to forget all the Romanov's then.

[Grandduchess Valeria]

That might be. I just said that he is in discussion by many russians and - I saw an interview with him a few years ago - claim himself the right heir to Alexander II (not to the throne!).

Lol, that is a bit like saying you are the true heir of the Pope, isn't it?

I think my objection to the Vladimirovichi is that since 1928 they have used their decidedly theoretical powers under the Fundamental Law only to the benefit of themselves!

I think 99% of non-reigning royalty using their 'theoretical' powers to benefit themselves...

Lol! Following that train of thought: Has anybody ever voiced the suggestion that when Grand Duke Vladimir Cyrillovich vouched for the Ebenbürtigkeit of the Bagrations to the Spanish RF two years prior to his own Bagration marriage (and got to know his future wife through the process) he did it with the ulterior motive that a Bagration could provide a handy, obtainable, Orthodox spouse for an exiled pretender like himself?

Yes, it is Besides that he is nearly fifty, unmarried and childless...not a good precondition for getting tsar, is it?

[Benjamin]

Actually, Prince George Yurievsky has been married since 2003 to Katharina Verhagen. But, they are indeed childless.

[Grandduchess Valeria]

Than I missed that. Thank you, Benjamin!

Actually I think the consensus of most Russian Monarchists organizations seem to be by far in favour of Grand Duchess Maria V and her son.

Reference some of this discussion:

The demand is for a spouse of a reigning family (whether their ancestry would be morganatic is irrelevant if they are regarded as of Royal birth in their own country)
For example the montenegrin princesses who married into the Russian Imperial house were regarded as being equal even though their family had only recently become reigning.
Incidentally much has been made of the Orthodox mother (that rule only applied to the wife of the heir) and whether or not your mother was or wasn't Orthodox didn't affect your membership of the dynasty.

So in strict order - the female dynastic descendants based on a Russian Succession up to Grand Duke Kyril (therefore his daugthers and sisters before the daughters of his uncle the Emperor Alexander III)

this ignore religion and divorces however i have excluded those in line who would not be regarded as members of a reigning or former reigning family.

I should re-write the following after re-reading your original introduction...sorry ignore the following! It is irrelevant! Previously we were discussing the rightful heir who fulfilled the criteria of Pauline and Family rules hence the exclusion of MV! I see you have realigned the goal posts so to speak! I do beg your pardon!

But Marina's children contracted what would have certainly constituted unequal marriages and Elizabeth's marriage would surely have been deemed as unequal under Pauline and Family rules?

Only the Yugoslavs would qualify wouldn't they? Barring the children of Princess Elizabeth though she herself would qualify!

OMG you added more before I realized! If we are going to forget the aspect of equal marriages than I see your point! But if we are seeking heirs who have the credentials passe as per the Pauline rules etc then surely only the Greeks absolutely fit the criteria on pedigree and religious grounds! The Yugoslavs likewise! The rest are all out of unequal marriages so to speak excepting the Margerethe II of Denmark and her sisters and the three Kent siblings as far as I can tell and Duchess Rixa of Oldenburg!

[richard_1990]

I'm confused Margot, what are you talking about? I think the debate over who is the rightful heir has largely finished, the general consensus in of Russia aswell as other European monarchists/chivalry organisations seems to be that Grand Duchess Maria Vladimirovna and her son's claims are valid - making them the only dynasts. There are plenty of high quality arguements that support this - from GD Maria's lawyer(lawyers?) aswell as scholars in general. Even the new (albeit not as authoritative as old) Almanach de Gotha lists her as heir. Most arguements to the contraty seem to rely on emotion (dislike of GD Maria) or misinterpretation of the Pauline Laws.
