Thanks. The story of Zsar Nicolas's family has always upset me - I'm not in favour of royalty and I think the zsar lived in a bubble where he was completely out of touch with the suffering of his people, but killing the entire family including the servants and the children seems monstrous to me.
Lovely heart breaking poem Lou. xxxx
