Background
Alexander III succeeded his father after his assassination in 1881. In 1866 he married Princess Marie Dagmar of Denmark who became known as Maria Feodorovna. She had originally been engaged to Alexander's elder brother Nicholas, but changed suitors on his death in 1865. The precedent was followed by her nephew George V. They ascended to the Imperial throne in 1881.
