Maria Feodorovna an Unbelievable Royal Romanov! 

Maria Feodrovna’s granddaughter, Maria Romanov, was the spitting image of her.

Always thought Louse of Hesse-Cassel gave Alexandra, Dagmar and Thryra those beautiful head turning looks. Thank you, Jon, always have had a soft spot for these Princesses.

Hi Jon! I havent read or heard much about Maria. She was a beautiful woman. I think the family resemblance of first cousins King George the V and Czar Nicholas is stunning. Great video! Thank you.😊

Thank you for making this video! She is one of my favourite historical figures! It is amazing how much her granddaughter, Grand Duchess Maria Nikolaevna looked like her.

Thank you for this video. She was an amazing woman in whom the people of Russia loved her when she became part of the Romanov dynasty. I have heard of her and have read one book about her. This video helps to bring Maria in to focus of who she was as a person and her abilities of what she was capable of doing. She was a much love woman.

She’s one of my favourite Romanovs as well as one of my favourite Scandinavian royals and nine years ago I even chose my online pseudonym Dagmar after her maiden name.

I never followed her story, but you presented her very well. So many interesting personalities of the past. Love the original pictures you included. Thank you Jon 😊

Thank you for this most interesting and educational video regarding this extraordinary woman Dagmar who had such influence in both Russia and Denmark. I enjoyed this video greatly, even though her life was marred by much tragedy.

This was wonderful, loved the graphics. Am fascinated by all things Russian.

Oh this is pure gold! Thank you so much for this documentary

Обожаю нашу Марию Федоровну(Дагмар). Умная женщина.

Hi Jon. Thanks for the video of Princess Dagmar who became Marie Feodorovna Romanov. The only literature I have of her was Nicholas K Massie's Nicholas and Alexandra.

Fantastic presentation. Thank you for sharing this.

Hi Jon! Russian royals is an area of history I know almost nothing about, so thank you for highlighting this fascinating Lady! It's a marvel to see how your channel has grown! I am so pleased for you, and fondly recall the simplicity of how you sat on a stool, your mesmerizingly soothing voice narrated the stories of often scarcely known Ladies, while our imaginations conjured the visuals! I rarely post, but always watch and👍. Congratulations to you, Jon 😊 Many thanks, as well!

Great video. Thank you for letting me know about this interesting woman.

Incredible story, Jon!

Thank you for an interesting and informative video about this woman.

Great episode. Keep them coming.

Thanks Jon ❤

Mother knows best.

She was like the Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother. Keen to keep things as they were rather than moving with the times and as a result the Romanov dynasty fell.

Yes I'm still watcging while dealing with my health issues

Excellent.

Truly the last great Russian Empress.

I liked this, very interesting.

I love her story

❤❤❤

IfNicholas II had followed the wise advice of his mother many times the history of Russia would have been far different than what took place in1917. Secondly, if Alexander III had only trained his heir to be a Czar, the history of Russia might have been much different as the leadership of Nicholas II was weak and indecisive. Third, his marriage to his wife was a love match, but tragic in almost every other way. Alexandria should have stayed out of politics; and, tried hardier to endear herself to the Russian people. Still, as a family man, Nicholas II was outstanding. The family were faithful and devoted Orthodox Christians. They loved Russia/her people. It is most fitting that their memory is honored and even revered today. The cruel rulers who came after Nicholas II were indeed worthy of the names "bloody and cruel," that put Russia through a horrible Civil War as thousands fled West; and, only today can historians see the beginnings of healing for Russia.

The Soviet anthem as the opening music?

I wo Der what Russia would have been like if the first Nicholas had not died, Dagmar's first fiance before she married the next in line Alexander III and what their Offspring would have looked like and been like as Rulers. No Rasputin for one

Similar marital situation to Mary of Teck... 👑

Beautiful intro! and beautiful subject I literally let put a "Yay!!History Roadshow Does Dagmar of Denmark/Maria Feoderovna!!" (Absolutely 0 pun intended. I just..like her) I also think Thyra was a bit prettier and also a remarkable candidate for obesity of your subject's. She did the absolute u think able for Royal Ladies and still a great Dynastic Marriage. (Well, the best Dynasty that was left lol.) I also find it fascinating how she and Mary of Teck were en fianced to the Heirs, both died and they married the next Heirs. And genuinely fell in love meaning I don't think Alexander 3rd and Henry V genuinely loved them back i.e. no know mistresses. 🎉 I just can't say enough wonderful things about your films..your work.

Why did Queen Victoria have a poor opinion of Russians?

She was our Princess. DK. Also she and our familie was murdered. And their belogins were stolen. Perhaps in a state of the State to bring them to its own benifits. That is Demokracy. Our Beloved Dagmar. ❤

Maria was the first non-german to marry the Russian prince.

Holy crap, did I miss the strobe effect warning? Loved the video but, sheesh

I'm really bothered by the Soviet Union's national anthem playing in the opening of this video, considering that this video concerns the mother of the murdered Czar, her daughter-in-law, and her grandchildren.

Sorry ; Dagmar became rescude by England. Although she was stubben to lave what she had given her life to .

What shame her son and especially daughter in law were so weak.

Why are you playing the Soviet national anth and not God save the tsar

I didn't understand her story

Feel sorry for him you have got to be kidding me they man is a narcissist now he can't change the hoax that he is portraying women wouldn't film them having a breakdown

Why the USSR anthem is used as a background music instead of the Russian Imperial " God Save The Zar". The USSR anthem remind me of the criminals. It takes away validity and seriousness to the narrative. Sorry. Big mistake.

I don't really care for her. I feel like she had a hand in her daughter in law''s unpopularity and her son's execution.
