ALEXANDER II
1818 - 1881

Let's try to keep our Alexander IIs straight:

Alexander II - The Pope
Was born whoknowswhen and died 1073. Was pope 1061 to 1073.

Alexander II - Scottish King
Was born 1198 and died 1249. Was king of the Scots 1214 to 1249.

Now... this one is Alexander II the Russian Emperor. Unfortunately, he was assassinated by means of a car bomb. Although in those days they still called it a carriage bomb.
