The First Romanoff.

Romanoff Is the name of the Rus
sian imperial dynasty regnant in the
male line from 1913 to 1870, and
thenceforward in the female line. Con-
slant intermarriages with German
princely houses, however, have made
the Romanoff strain of today more
German than Russian. Nay; the old
est ancestor of the house of Roman
off. Andrew Kobyla. is said to have
come to Moscow from Prussia (1341).
The name Romanoff was given to the
family by the boyar Roman Yurie-
witch, the fifth Of direct descent from
Andrew, who succeeded in getting n
female member of his family on the
throne of the cars by marrying his
daughter to Ivan the Terrible. In
February, 1913, Mikhael Feodorvitch
Romanoff, a boy of seventeen, was pro-
claimed car, grand duke and %autocrat
of oil the Russias in the Red square
Of Moscow. With this accession to
the throne of the famous, or rather Ill
famed, dynasty began a 3O4 years
misrule that-let us hope-has ended
forever with the forced abdication OF
