Maria

Of all of the five Romanov dhildren, I have a personal connection to the middle child, Maria. She was overshadowed and controlled by her family, being sweet and willing. She had long golden hair, and large blue eyes that were known in the family as "Marie's saucers". She died July 17, 1918 with her family. Although some rumors have circulated over the years that her sister Anastasia was the one who went missing, it was in fact Maria whose bones were supposedly never found

An introduction to the family

The Romanovs were a simple family. They enjoy tea, swimming, and spending time together. One thing that is very simple from the rest of us, though, is that they ruled the largest country in the world for over a hundred years.
