Footnote
During the reign of Emperor Alexander III, Russia fought no major wars earning him the title of The Peacemaker. The Emperor disliked the extravagance of his extended family and the court. For the Crown, it was expensive to pay so many Grand Dukes an annual salary of 250,000 Roubles. Each Grand Duchess received a dowry of a million Roubles upon marriage. Thus, he limited those titles only to children and male-line grandchildren of Emperors.
