Hmm--Czar Nicholas II and George V--first cousins, one with tragic end.

I just saw some of the Faberge Eggs at Walters Art Museum last month, cabinet is from Marjorie Merriweather Post's Hillwood. The two Nicholas II and George V were first cousins through their mothers, but G denied asylum to Nicholas. Nicholas II and his entire family were shot by Bolsheviks one year after the October Revolution in 1917. kmk 5-23-2018
