The Romanovs

An Enthralling Overview of the House of Romanov

By: Billy Wellman

Narrated by: Jay Herbert

With some of the most memorable names in history, the Romanov dynasty is one of those royal families whose legacy can only be rivaled by a few.

Ruling Russia for a little over 300 years, from the 17th to the early 20th centuries, the Romanov tsars, and in rare but unforgettable cases, empresses, dominated the political landscapes of their times and forged one of the most legendary dynasties of all time.

In fact, Russia, the big and powerful nation-state we know today, was largely created because of the efforts of Romanov rulers like Peter the Great or Catherine the Great. The Romanov family has forever been guaranteed a place in Russian, European, and even world history books.
