ALEXANDER I
1777 - 1825


Alexander was Russia's Emperor from 1801 - 1825. Alexander was one of the main reasons why Napoleon I Bonaparte was eventually brought down on his knees.

Alexander's famous grandmother was Catherine II the Great.

Alexander's father was Czar Paul I.

One of Alexander's first actions as czar was to dissolve the Armed Neutrality of the North. This was an agreement between Denmark, Sweden, and Russia, which had already caused the Danes some headaches in form of the Battle of Copenhagen because the English didn't like the agreement either.

Upon Alexander's death, his brother Nicholas became Russia's next czar.
