She bases her, claim on the fact that, although she was only the. morganutie wife of the Archduke and wak never recognised as a Romanov, she is recognised in law ns heiress to his estates.

DEFIED THE TSAR

"Countess, Brassow"-her former' title was one of the most colourful figures of the Russian Court.

She was the daughter of a Moscow lawyer and had had three divorces before she met the Archduke Michael.

He fell passionately in love with her and, despite the wishes of the Tsar, married her mor- ganatically in Vienna.

For years the Taar refused to for- give his brother, but later he par- doned him and allowed him to return to Russia with his wife.

When Nicholas II resigned from the Throne his brother legally became Tsar, but, on the advice of Kerensky, did not accept succession.
