The House of Romanov ruled over Russia for over 300 years. The Romanovs produced some of history’s most famous rulers from Peter the Great, Catherine the Great, Ivan the Terrible, and Princess Anastasia. The latter was the daughter of the last Tsar of Russia, Nicholas II.

It was a tragic final end to a historic ruling family. But there were other tragic signs of this family's demise even before the revolution took place. Here are the details.
