Princess Eugenia Maximilianovna of Leuchtenberg (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Princess Eugenia Maximilianovna of Leuchtenberg, also known as Princess Evgenia Romanovskya, or Eugenia, Princess Romanovskaja (1 April 1845 - 4 May 1925) was a member of the French House of Beauharnais, though she was born and raised in her mother's native country, Russia. She was the third child and second daughter of Maximilian de Beauharnais, 3rd Duke of Leuchtenberg and his wife Grand Duchess Maria Nikolaevna of Russia. She and her husband, Duke Alexander of Oldenburg, were particularly noted for their extensive philanthropy throughout Russia; so much so in fact that by 1914, a newspaper source could claim that "there [were] probably not two who are so universally beloved as the Duke and Duchess of Oldenburg." Eugenia's father Maximilian de Beauharnais, 3rd Duke of Leuchtenberg had traveled to St. Petersburg, eventually winning the hand of Grand Duchess Maria Nikolaevna, Nicholas I's eldest daughter.
