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 Empress Elizabeth, who died 1762. The succeeding Romanov-Holstein-Gottorp line was renamed as "Romanov" and is generally treated as a continuation of the dynasty. The last tsar was Nicholas II (1868-1918), who abdicated in 1917 at the start of the [[Russian Revolution]].
