A Poet Among the Romanovs: Prince Vladimir Paley 1897-1918

Prince Vladimir Paley, first cousin of the last tsar, was a poet among the Romanovs. The rules of the Imperial Family prevented him from being considered a member of the dynasty due to the unequal Prince Vladimir Paley, first cousin of the last tsar, was a poet among the Romanovs. The rules of the Imperial Family prevented him from being considered a member of the dynasty due to the unequal marriage of his parents. This circumstance could have saved his life. Instead, when he was requested by the Bolsheviks to denounce his father, Grand Duke Paul Alexandrovich of Russia, young Prince Vladimir chose love, loyalty, honor, and affection. His only crime was being related to a dynasty of which he had not even been an official member. This is the compelling story of a young man, and a talented poet, who in different circumstances would have attained great heights. Destiny, however, played a sad role in bringing a brutal and early death to a promising life ... 

Jorge F. Sáenz brings to life the previously unknown figure of Prince Vladimir Paley. In doing so, Mr. Sáenz adds to a long and distinguished list of historical studies he has written over the last thirty years. His books number well over a dozen, most of them focusing on various aspects of Costa Rica’s history and unique democratic traditions, that make the country a bastion of democracy in Latin America. His study of the life of Prince Vladimir Paley was first published as a biographical essay in Eurohistory — The European Royal History Journal. The success of this essay led to the story of Vladimir Paley becoming a full-on book. Mr. Sáenz is a career diplomat for Costa Rica, as well as a distinguished law professor at the University of Costa Rica. 

This unique book, also containing many samples of the young poet's work, has a 24-page photo section depicting Vladimir Paley and those closest to him. We are exceedingly happy to be able to bring this excellent historical work to you in hardbound form.

A Poet Among the Romanovs will undoubtedly enrich your Romanov Collections!

The book is printing and will be available at the end of January 2021, the first Eurohistory book of the New Year!

A Right Royal Riddle: Who Are We?

A Gotha Quiz: Who Are We?

By Darren Shelton, for the European Royal History Journal.

"Before we married, I loved my future wife from afar. She, however, loved another. I approached the apple of her eye and told him my plight. He spoke to her and set her straight and opened the path for me to propose. She accepted and we had a large family - of which four of our children were two sets of twins. 

As a hint, my wife and I shared some ancestry: my maternal grandmother and her paternal grandmother were sisters.

Who Are We?"

The answer will be posted tomorrow. 

+++++++

We are Landgrave Friedrich Karl of Hesse (1868-1940) and Princess Margarethe of Prussia (1872-1954).
