the grand duke's marriage to leonida bagration remained controversial; some considered it to be morganatic. although the princess descended from the bagrationi dynasty which had ruled as kings of georgia since the early middle ages, it had been deposed and reduced to the status of russian nobility for more than a century prior to the russian revolution in 1917. leonida belonged to the senior surviving branch of that family , but the last georgian king from whom she descended in the male line was constantine ii who died in 1505, although other branches of the family continued to reign in the caucasus as late as 1810. besides, according to the almanach de gotha, as per the decision of emperor nicholas ii made in 1911, the princess tatiana constantinovna of russia had morganatically wed prince konstantin alexandrovich bagration-mukhransky, a member of the same branch of the house of bagration into which princess leonida would later be born. because the russian empire did not accord royal rank to the bagrations at the time of the russian revolution, most romanov dynasts in exile maintained that leonida's daughter, maria vladimirovna, could not succeed to her father's claim to the russian throne.
