The House of Romanov was the ruling family of Russia from 1613 to 1917. The first Romanov tsar was Michael I. His line ended with Elizabeth, who died 1762. The succeeding Holstein-Gottrop family was renamed as "Romanov" and is generally treated as a continuation of the dynasty.

Vladmir lived in Saint-Briac-sur-Mer, Brittany until 1942, when the Nazis arrested him and put him in a concentration camp. The imperial line expired when he died in Florida in 1992.[1] His daughter Maria Vladimirovna claimed the right to succeed. However, the Fundamental Laws of the Russian Empire (1906) do not provide for a female head.
