Well between everyone who has answered your question, you have almost all the information you need. Tsar Nicholas II Romanov of Russia had a double relation with King George V Windsoe of England. First, as one answerer has pointed out, Princess Alexandra and Princess Dagmar, the two daughters of King Christian of Denmark married respectively, Edward, Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII) the father of George V and the Tsarovitch Alexander (later Tsar Alexander III) the father of Tsar Nicholas II. This means that Nicholas and George were first cousins through their mothers. However, Nicholas II married Princess Alix of Hesse, her mother was Princess Alice of England, the daughter of Queen Victoria and the sister of Edward VII. So the children of tsar and the king had a further connection. By the way, it was through Princess Alix that the mutated gene for hemophilia carried by Queen Victoria's descendants entered into the Russian Imperial family, causing all of the problems with their son and Rasputin. Here is a pdf that is a chart of the Windsors with their connections http://www.royal.gov.uk/files/pdf/Windsor%20family%20tree.pdf.
I hope this helps

Nearly everyone (if not all royalty) was/is related to Queen Victoria. Since royalty believed in only marrying other royalty there were a lot of cousins that entered matrimony. Queen V was quite the busy bee when it came to reproducing. The intermarrying explains quite a bit about why the royals are not the smartest creatures on Earth,

the 1st became Athelstan (927-939). He became King of Wessex from 924 and then King of the English from 927. The final became William III (1689-1702). the subsequent king after him became George I, however the Acts of Union had already surpassed and the dominion of england ceased to exist. It became now part of the united kingdom of large Britain. He became additionally the final King of Scotland (as William II).

Yes. Nicholas II, George V, and Kaiser Wilhelm II were all cousins. There was also a prince of Greece at the time who was their cousin as well.

Since he was related to him before the war, he was also related to him at the time of war. And now that they are both dead, they are still related. ;-)

they were all interelated in order to keep peace through monarchies of Europe. Definately a lot of inermarriage. Weird. I wonder if part of it was also that they should not marry below their "station?"
