Nicholas II of Russia
On 1 March 1881, following the assassination of his grandfather, Tsar Alexander II, Nicholas became heir apparent upon his father's ascension as Alexander III. Nicholas and his other family members bore witness to Alexander II's death, having been present at the Winter Palace in Saint Petersburg, where he was brought after the attack. For security reasons, the new tsar and his family relocated their primary residence to the Gatchina Palace outside the city, only entering the capital for various ceremonial functions. On such occasions, Alexander III and his family occupied the nearby Anichkov Palace.

Justin states that a storm drove Alexander's ship to shore, where he was abandoned by his men and captured by robbers. Diodorus traces his path along the coast, stating that news of his impiety outran him, causing Seleucia to refuse him entry; he was then captured while attempting to reach Posidium. Eusebius has Alexander killing himself with poison, where other sources state he was brought to Antiochus's camp and executed in 122, two days after his desecration of Antioch's Temple of Zeus.
