List of Princes of royal blood of Russia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Prince of royal blood (ru:Князь императорской крови) — title introduced in the Russian Empire in 1886 for distant descendants of the emperor. They were granted great-grandchildren and their descendants (and their wives) instead of the more honorable "Grand Duke" (for children and grandchildren). This measure was caused by a significant increase in the number of members of the House of Romanov.
