Dagmar of Denmark: From Empress to Exile

We are back for part 3 of the life of Dagmar of Denmark, aka Maria Feodorovna, empress of Russia. Her son, Nicholas, is now tsar and it doesn't go great for anyone. In this episode we'll discuss the complicated tightrope Dagmar had to walk as both mother and chief political advisor in a difficult time to be a royal. We'll also go into Rasputin's role in her life as well as a life in exile (spoiler alert!).

Back in 2024, we dug deep into the life of Maria Theresa and during that time we kept finding one guy who she was at odds with every step of the way. Frederick the Great. We expected him to be a horrible guy when we started this Patreon 2023 episode. But instead we found a really nuanced, gay, dog loving guy...who also totally loved war.
