Synopsis
Excerpt from Life and Times of Alexander I, Vol. 1 of 3: Emperor of All the Russians In the thirteenth century the ancestors of the Imperial House of Romanof were chiefs and hereditary high priests at the altars dedicated to the sun in Lithuania. The religious zeal of the Teutonic knights drove them to Moscow, where they embraced Christianity, and were enrolled among the nobles for their services in the wars with the Monguls, who oppressed Russia during 300 years. They shared in the vicissitudes of the empire, at one time marrying daughters of the royal family, and giving a wife to Ivan IV.; at another being almost exterminated by torture, execution, and exile. But after years of revolution and civil war Michael Romanof was chosen by a general election, preceded by three days of fasting and prayer, to fill the vacant throne (1613). His father, the Patriarch of Moscow, lingered in a Polish dungeon, Moscow lay in ashes, and the Poles, Swedes, and Crimean Tartars had partitioned Russia, when this youth of fifteen was brought out of a convent to expel the invaders, and restore the honour and fortunes of the empire. The Romanofs, through female alliances, could boast of a descent from the Emperor Constantine Monomachus and the Paleologi, from Zingis Khan, from Rurik, the earliest Slavonic princes of Novgorod, and from the last of the Anglo-Saxon kings.
