Maria Feodorovna (Russian: Мария Фёдоровна, romanized: Mariya Fyodorovna; 26 November 1847 – 13 October 1928), known before her marriage as Princess Dagmar of Denmark, was Empress of Russia from 1881 to 1894 as the wife of Emperor Alexander III. She was the fourth child and second daughter of Christian IX of Denmark and Louise of Hesse-Kassel. Maria’s eldest son, Nicholas, was the last Emperor of Russia, ruling from 1 November 1894 until his abdication on 15 March 1917.

Known for her beauty and intelligence, she wasn’t short of suitors.

Suck Diesel Pace yourself, Mr Diesel!

Young Manuel was born in the last year of the reign of his grandfather, King Luis I. He was created Duke of Beja. He was the son of Carlos I and Amélie of Orleans. On 1 February 1908 the royal family returned from the palace of Vila Viçosa to Lisbon. They travelled by coach to Almada and from then took a boat to cross the Tagus River and disembarked in Cais do Sodré in central Lisbon. On their way to the royal palace, the carriage with King Carlos I and his family passed through Terreiro do Paço. While crossing the square, shots were fired from the crowd by at least three men: Alfredo Costa, Manuel Buiça and Aquilino Ribeiro. The King died immediately; his heir Crown Prince Luís Filipe was mortally wounded; Prince Manuel hit in the arm and Queen Amélie surprisingly unharmed. It was the quick thinking of Queen Amélie that saved her son Manuel. [1] The assassins were shot at the spot by members of the bodyguard and later recognized as members of the Portuguese Republican Party. About twenty minutes later, Prince Luis Filipe died and days later, Manuel was acclaimed King of Portugal. The young King, who had not been groomed for kingship, sought to save the fragile position of the Braganza monarchy by dismissing the dictator João Franco and his entire cabinet in 1908. The ambitions of the various political parties made Manuel's reign a turbulent one. Free elections were declared in which republicans and socialists won an overwhelming victory. [2] The murder of a prominent republican precipated the revolution that had been so long in preparation. [3] Revolution erupted on October 4, 1910. An illegal military coup was commenced by soldiers who were joined by some civilians and municipal guards attacking loyal garrisons and the royal palace, while the guns of a warship added to the revolutionary colonnade. Three days of almost constant street fighting were enough to drive out the young King. [4] Manuel fled on the royal yacht to British ruled Gibraltar.
