Tatjana Konstantinowna Romanowa – Wikipedia
Imperial princess Tatjana Konstantinowna Romanowa ( Russian Princess Tatyana Konstantinovna ; * January 11 jul. / January 23, 1890 greg. in Pawlovsk, Russia; † August 28, 1979 in Jerusalem, Israel) was a member of the Romanow-Holstein-Gottorp house.
Tatjana was the eldest daughter of Grand Prince Konstantinovich Romanow (1858–1915) and his wife Princess Elisabeth von Sachsen-Altenburg (1865–1927), second daughter of Prince Moritz von Sachsen-Altenburg and Princess Augusta Luise Adelaide Karoline Ida von Sachsen- Meiningen.
In the spring of 1911 Princess Tatjana Konstantina got banged with the Georgian prince Konstantin Bagration-Makharinsky, which served in the imperial regiment. After signing a waiver of her dynastic rights, she was able to marry with the permission of Tsar Nikolaus II. On September 3, 1911 Princess Tatjana married Pawlowsk Prince Konstantin Bagration-Makharinsky (1888-1915). The imperial family was present and the Tsar suggested that the groom signed the wedding register with “Prince Grusinski” (i.e. Prince of Georgia ). Son Teymuraz and daughter Natalia emerged from the happy marriage.
After the outbreak of the First World War, her husband contacted the Russian armed forces and was fatally wounded in 1915. Her brother Oleg was killed in 1914 and three other brothers, Iwan, Konstantin and Igor, were murdered by the Bolsheviki in Alapajewsk in 1918.
During her widowing, Tatjana was often near her uncle Grand prince Dmitri Konstantinowitsch Romanow. After the October Revolution, she stayed with him in his palace, where she fell in love with his adjutant, Alexander Korotschenzow. After her uncle was arrested, the young couple fled with their children first to Romania and later to Switzerland. In November 1921 they married in Geneva, Alexander Korotschenzow (born August 17, 1877), their second husband died on February 6, 1922 in Lausanne.
In 1950 Princess Tatjana took the veil, she died as mother Tamara, abbess in the Maria-Magdalena monastery in Jerusalem.
- On July 14, 1886, Tsar Alexander III modified. The Romanow’s house laws by restricting the title “Großfürst” or “Grand Duche” to the children and grandchildren in the male line of a tsar. In the future, remote descendants would bear the title “Imperial Prince” or “Princess”. So Tatjana, a great -granddaughter of Tsar Nikolaus I, was just an “imperial princess” of birth.
- She was the first female Romanow to openly married a subject or not dynastic prince since the dynasty came to the Russian throne in 1613. Marriage was not regarded as an unequal marriage, since the house Bagration (Georgia and Armenia), like the house of Orléans (France), was once a ruling dynasty. It was different with Grandfürst Mikhail Mikhailowitsch Romanow, married Gräfin sophia de bags (1891) and Grand prince Pawel Alexandrowitsch Romanow married Princess OLGA Paley (1902), they made their marriage public and had to live in exile. Or an unequal marriage in secret, as with Tsarin Elisabeth Petrowna Romanowa married Graf Alexei Grigorievich Razumovsky (1732) and the second marriage of Grand Duchess Maria Nikolajewna Romanowa Graf Grigory Stroganow (1854).
