Marie of Edinburgh, more commonly known as Marie
of Romania (Marie Alexandra Victoria; 29 October
1875 – 18 July 1938), was the last Queen of Romania as
the wife of King Ferdinand I.
Born into the British royal family, she was titled Princess
Marie of Edinburgh at birth.
After the outbreak of World War I, Marie urged Ferdinand
to ally himself with the Triple Entente and declare war on
Germany, which he eventually did in 1916. During the
early stages of fighting, Bucharest was occupied by the
Central Powers and Marie, Ferdinand and their five
children took refuge in Moldavia. On 1 December 1918,
the province of Transylvania, following Bessarabia and
Bukovina, united with the Old Kingdom. Marie, now
queen of Greater Romania, attended the Paris Peace
Conference of 1919, where she campaigned for
international recognition of the enlarged Romania.
