專家說明

Elizaveta Alekseevna (born Princess Louise of Baden) came to Russia in 1792, when she was chosen by Empress Catherine II of Russia as a bride for her eldest grandson, Grand Duke Alexander Pavlovich of Russia, the future Tsar Alexander I. Her marriage was famously unhappy and she did not find contentment in Russia. Despite her husband's affairs, they drew closer after the premature death of their daughters.
