Alexandra Feodorovna was the final empress consort of Russia, married to Nicholas II from 1894 until his abdication in 1917. Born Princess Alix of Hesse, she was a member of the German imperial family and a granddaughter of Queen Victoria. After converting from Lutheranism to Russian Orthodoxy to marry the future Tsar, she lived in the Russian Empire, where she served as a nurse and supported the autocracy. Her life ended in 1918 when she and her five children were executed by Bolshevik forces in Yekaterinburg.
