Law of succession Imperial House of Romanov

 

The imperial succession law of the House of Romanov was established by Tsar Paul I in 1797 and is based on the Salic Law. It was ratified, respectively, in 1886 by Tsar Alexander III and in 1906 and 1911 by Tsar Nicholas II.

According to this law, the succession to the head of the Imperial House is by male primogeniture, passing to the female line only after the extinction of the male line.

The last Tsar was Nicholas II and the last Tsarevich of Russia was Alexey Nikolaevich as the future Tsar of the Empire.

With the disappearance of the family of Nicholas II, the legitimacy to become Sovereign of any applicant disappeared, however history and politics still have a debt, when and where did the imperial family of Nicholas II die if they were not executed in 1918.
