DNA tests have disproved the notion that Anna Anderson was a Romanov, as she claimed. Furthermore, the bodies of the last two missing Romanov children were discovered and identified in 1998. They were discovered buried near to where the rest of the family's remains were discovered in the 1970s.

I would have sentimentally embraced the survival theory even more if the putative survivor had not shown herself to have been such a disturbed character with no similarity to the near saintly one portrayed by the glorious JCMarrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17057315722950980013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354677738876576370.post-78399903355940415062012-10-01T03:40:55.006+01:002012-10-01T03:40:55.006+01:00I can't help wondering if there was a connecti...I can't help wondering if there was a connection between whatever problems drove Anna Anderson into the asylum and her claim she was Anastasia ....that it was mental illness, rather than fraud.

There is, however, little romance about it, except perhaps in the movies. Most royal claimants/imposters did not live happy lives or come to happy ends. Perkin Warbeck died young. Most of the Dauphin claimants ended up in prison elena maria vidalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17129629173535139807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354677738876576370.post-4911433396392035192012-09-28T20:50:38.323+01:002012-09-28T20:50:38.323+01:00Great post!

To do justice to these victims of atrocities, we have first to face their true fate. <br /><br />An inverse to these survival legends seems to be the phenomenon of trying to make other tragedies even uglier than they were in reality- again, often focusing on royalty. Take, for instance, the conspiracy theories surrounding the deaths of Diana, Princess of Wales, King Albert I and QueenMayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18230268418171628594noreply@blogger.com
