Tsarevich Nikolay Aleksandrovich Romanov (Template:Lang-ru), full title: Heir, Tsarevich and Grand Duke of Russia (Template:Lang-ru) (20 September [O.S. 8 September] 1843 – 24 April [O.S. 12 April] 1865) was Tsarevich - the heir apparent - of Imperial Russia, from March 2 1855 until his death in 1865. He was nick-named Nixa.

He was born at Tsarskoe Selo, the eldest son of Tsarevich Alexander Nikolaievich, eldest son of Emperor Nicholas I of Russia, and Princess Maximilienne Wilhelmine Marie of Hesse and by Rhine. In 1855, his paternal grandfather died and his father succeeded as Emperor Alexander II. His early death at the age of twenty-one was a devastating blow to his mother.

Engagement

Nicholas as a baby with his older sister, Alexandra.

Nicholas was engaged in the summer of 1864 to Princess Marie Sophie Frederikke Dagmar of Denmark. She was the second eldest daughter of King Christian IX of Denmark and Princess Louise of Hesse-Kassel (or Hesse-Cassel) and a sister-in-law of Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, heir to the British throne. It is believed that when on his deathbed, Nicholas expressed his wish that his fiancée should become the bride of his younger brother and successor as Tsarevich, Alexander.

Death

Nicholas was thought to have a strong constitution until early 1865 while on tour in southern Europe he contracted an ailment that was initially incorrectly diagnosed as rheumatism which later turned out to be Cerebo-Spinal Meningitis. Nicholas's initial symptoms included backpain and stiff neck as well as sensitivity to noise and light. However Nicholas thought little of it and continued his tour in Italy but his health quickly turned for the worst. He was sent to Southern France and while in France, his health deteriorated. Throughout spring of 1865 Nicholas never recovered and he died on 24 April 1865 in Nice, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur.

His death at an early age of 21 thoroughly devastated his mother, who was said to have poured over all aspects of Nicholas life so intently and Empress Marie never recovered from his death.
