On April 24, 1865 Tsesarevich Nicholas died. Eldest son of Tsar Alexander II and older brother of Tsar Alexander III, who was supposed to be Nicholas II..

In 1860, during the races in Tsarskoye Selo, Niksa fell from his horse and received a severe bruise in his back. But not wanting to seem weak and pampered, he says that he does not hurt at all. No one knows that this episode will be fatal in the fate of the young heir to the throne.

Time passes, but the pain in the back doesn’t go away and only intensifies every day. Dr. Shestov, assigned to the heir, assures that this is just rheumatism, not paying attention to the abscess on the back at the site of the bruise. Niksa is treated with baths, warming, massages and straightening, the pain from which is so strong that the heir screams and cries.

The prescribed treatment gave no improvement and Niksa suffered from headaches, weakness and back pain, Everyone seems to see Nicholas' deteriorating condition except his father, Alexander II who is sure this is just rheumatism, and his son is simply exaggerating his pain.

There was no remedy in the spas of Europe, and after participating in the Berlin maneuvers of 1864, in which Nikolai had to ride a horse, he could no longer move independently and straighten his back.

The last home of the heir was a villa in Nice, where he is being moved on the advice of European doctors. Even a board of eminent physicians find it difficult to diagnose Nexa, only when he appeared to vomit. Doctors finally make the correct diagnosis “tuberculous meningitis”.

Niksa died at the age of 21, after four hours of pain. He passed away and was surrounded at that moment by his parents, brothers, and his bride, the Danish Princess Dagmar, who didn’t leave him until his last breath.

The death of the beloved Tsesarevich becomes a tragedy not only for the dynasty, but for the whole country, which passionately loved the heir to the throne.

After the death of Niska, his younger brother, Grand Duke Alexander, became Tsesarevich, and the next emperor of the Russian Empire will be Alexander III, and he will be the husband of the Danish princess Dagmar, who will be Empress Maria Feodorovna.

Alexander III will name his first son Nicholas, in honor of his beloved brother. It is this son who will become Emperor Nicholas II - the last Russian emperor.

It is difficult to say whether Nicholas Alexandrovich's life could have been longer and happier if he had been diagnosed in time and received adequate treatment. This disease was not really studied at that time, moreover, it was a very rare disease.

“Nicholas had a great future, and he was probably going to be the most educated monarch not only in Russia but also in Europe.” -Boris Chicherin

Dear Niksa on his deathbed.

GODPARENTS OF TSESAREVICH NICHOLAS ALEXANDROVICH

Tsesarevich Nicholas Alexandrovich was born as Grand Duke of Russia during the reign of his formidable grandfather Emperor Nicholas I on 20th September 1843. He was the eldest son and second child born to Emperor Alexander II (then Tsesarevich) and his wife Empress Maria Alexandrovna. He was christened in the Grand Palace Church, Tsarskoe Selo, by the Confessor of His Imperial Majesty. He had four known godparents as listed:

NICHOLAS I, EMPEROR OF RUSSIA - his paternal grandfather and namesake was one of his godparents present at his christening. Mainly remembered in history as a reactionary whose controversial reign was marked by geographical expansion, centralisation of administrative policies and repression of dissent. He died in 1855, when the younger Nicholas was only 11 years-old, and thus making him the heir apparent (Tsesarevich).

LOUIS II, GRAND DUKE OF HESSE AND BY RHINE - his maternal grandfather was another of his godparents, but was absent at the christening. The hessian grand duke, like his paternal grandfather, was also considered a reactionary leader, he was in conflict with parliament almost his entire reign. The German revolution in 1848-49 proved his inability to govern. On March 5, 1848 he named his son Louis III as co-regent, and a year later he died.

GRAND DUCHESS ANNA PAVLOVNA OF RUSSIA, QUEEN CONSORT OF THE NETHERLANDS - his great-aunt was the third listed as godparent of the young grand duke, but was also absent at the christening. Queen Anna, the favourite sister of Emperor Nicholas I of Russia and the consort of King William II of the Netherlands, was a Russian patriot who upheld a strict royal etiquette in the Netherlands, where she never felt at home, and identified more as an Imperial Grand Duchess than a Dutch queen. She had no political influence, but was active within charity.

GRAND DUCHESS OLGA NIKOLAEVNA OF RUSSIA, QUEEN CONSORT OF WÜRTTEMBERG - his aunt was one of his godparents present at the christening. She was the younger sister of his father. Attractive, cultured and intelligent, she was considered to be one of the most eligible princesses in Europe. Just three years after her nephew was born, in 1846, she married Crown Prince Karl of Württemberg. Nicholas died just two months before seeing his aunt Queen consort of Württemberg.

“Your sympathy is a great comfort to me and my daughter, who has endured such a severe trial at such an early age... She tells me that she would not for anything in the world wish to change the past, no matter how short, but happy it was; and I will never forget his look when the Tsar led her by the hand to his bed! It was pure happiness, and he recognized her all day when he was dying. He said goodbye to her, kissed her, and held her hand tightly in his until he died! We were on the road for four days and four nights, and she never left his bedside, kneeling next to him day and night, until at one o'clock in the afternoon she kissed him and he exhaled his young life! It was terrible for me, because I loved him very much and saw how all the happiness of the poor young bride had faded away... Minnie went to Darmstadt for the day to see his parents again. The whole dear family was so kind and sweet to her that the separation was doubly painful for her."

- Queen Louise of Denmark in a letter to Queen Victoria, on her daughter Princess Dagmar’s grief at the death of her fiancé, Grand Duke Nicholas Alexandrovich of Russia. Dagmar went on to become Empress Maria Alexandrovna as the wife of Nicholas’s brother, Emperor Alexander III. Their firstborn son was named after the uncle he never knew, he is known to history as Nicholas II, the last Russian emperor.

The Romanov Martyrs

I wanted to put together a little memorial that included all the members of the Romanov Family (as well as the members of their staff) that were murdered by the Bolshevik terrorists. This seems like a good week to keep them in our minds. Although we love and mourn the children especially, there were others we cannot forget.

Tsar Alexandre II was hunted down until finally blown to pieces.

Dowager Empress Maria Feodorovna lost two sons and five grandchildren (no wonder she could not accept they were dead)

Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich was also hunted down and blown to pieces

Three Mikhailovichi brothers were murdered

Four Konstantinovichi were murdered, three of them brothers; I cannot imagine what their mother, Grand Duchess Elizabeth Mavrikievna, went through...and so on.

May they rest in peace.
