Despite being (effectively) the oldest and most prestigious dynasty in Europe, the Habsburgs had only one marriage alliance with the Romanovs of Russia. Now I can fully understand the reasons why; first both dynasties were very devote and any bride would be expected to convert to her new country's religion and second, the only Habsburg-Romanov match that happened (Tsar Paul's Grand Duchess Alexandra Pavlovna to Emperor Franz's brother Archduke Joseph, Palatine of Hungary) was a miserable marriage that ended with the unhappy Alexandra dying in childbirth. But this is what makes it a challenge! Bonus points if the marriage is between the Tsar and an Archduchess or the Emperor and a Grand Duchess.
