Empress Maria to be re-buried in Russia PDF Print E-mail

Moscow, Russia, Oct. 22 (UPI) -- The remains of widowed Empress Maria Fyodorovna, Emperor Alexander III's wife, will be transferred from Denmark for burial in Russia. The burial ceremony is expected to take place Sept. 26, 2006, in St. Petersburg's Peter and Paul Cathedral, according to the decree by Russian President Putin, Novosti said.

Empress Maria Fyodorovna (formerly Princess Dagmara of Denmark, daughter of King Christian IX and Queen Louise) was born in Copenhagen in 1847. She married Russian Tsar Alexander III and gave birth to six children, including Russia's last emperor, Nicolas II.

The empress spent 52 years in Russia. She lived through the chaos of the Bolshevik revolution and fled to Denmark in 1919 when her nephew, King George VI of England, sent a ship to take her from the Crimea.

Empress Maria died in Copenhagen in 1928 and was buried in the Danish royal family's vault in Roskilde Cathedral.
