How were Tsar Nicholas II and Edward VII related?

In: Russian History [Edit categories]

Answer:

Tsar Nicholas II's mother (Maria Feodorovna) was the sister of Edward VII's wife (Alexandra of Denmark), so Edward VII was his uncle by marriage, and George V (Edward's son) was his first cousin.

This also meant that in World War I, opponents Wilhelm II (Germany) and Nicholas II (Russia) were both first cousins of George V (Great Britain).
