On 15th March of 1917 Tsar Nicholas II abdicated from the Russian throne first in favour of his son Alexi, who was severly ill with Haemophilia, before swiftly changing his mind in favour of his brother, Grand Duke Mikhail Alexandrovich.

The Grand Duke refused to accept the crown and, in doing so, brought three hundred years of Imperial Romanov Russian rule to an end.
