Anastasia Romanov
Whoever wrote that other entry is an ignorant fool. Here who Anastasia really was.
Anastasia Nicolaievna Romanov was the youngest daughter of Nicholas II and Alexandra Romanov of Russia. In her youth, Anastasia was considered the tomboy of all the Grand Duchesses, preferring to climb trees than study her lessons. Anastasia could speak Russian, French, and English fluently.It was she who would spend hours cheering up her younger hemophiliac brother and heir to the Russian throne, Alexei, when he was ill. As the youngest daughter, most everything that could have been done had already done by the eldest three, so Anastasia took to being the infant terrible and carving for herself her special niche as the family clown. Some of the entertaining stories of her life and miraculous escape depicted her as under 10 when the family disappeared. She had just turned 17 when the family was murdered by the Bolsheviks.Anastasia and her sisters did not bear the title of Princess. They were referred to a Grand Duchesses, which is considered higher than the European ''princess.''
