Grand Duchess Alexandra Iosifovna of Russia (8 July 1830 Altenburg 6 July 1911 Saint Petersburg), born Princess Alexandra Friederike Henriette of Saxe-Altenburg was the fifth daughter of Joseph Georg Friedrich Ernst Karl, Duke of Saxe-Altenburg and Amelie Theresa Luise, Duchess of Württemberg.
She married Grand Duke Konstantin Nikolayevich of Russia, second son of Nicholas I of Russia on 11 September 1848. It was said that Alexandra looked so much like her husband's sister, the Grand Duchess Alexandra Nikolayevna, who died in childbirth, that her mother-in-law burst into tears at their first meeting.
Konstantin and Alexandra had 6 children.

  • Allow constructive thots? spell her birth name correctly, sachsen, and you might get more hits.

  • @aristolink Thanks you for the suggestion.

  • Thank you for creating this beautiful video. What made you think of it?

  • @aristolink I read something about her daughter Olga and I was very impressed by her, so I made this video. 

  • Her husband was the second son of Tsar Nicholas I and brother of Tsar Alexander II. But two of their children are quite known: Olga who became Queen of the Hellenes and Constantine known as "KR".
