Alexandra Romanova

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alexandra Romanova (Russian: Александра Романова) may refer to a number of persons from the Romanov family. The Romanov dynasty had several daughters named Alexandra (who all happened to die before the 20th birthday, wherefore the name was later regarded unlucky for imperial daughters). Also, several consorts were known by that christian name:
