"Alexander I
(Russian:
Александр Павлович
, Aleksandr Pavlovich...reigned as Emperor of Russia between 1801-1825...He was born in Saint Petersburg to Grand Duke Paul Petrovich, later Emperor Paul I, and succeeded to the throne after his father was murdered. He ruled Russia during the chaotic period of the Napoleonic Wars...In foreign policy, he changed Russia's position relative to France four times between 1804 and 1812 among neutrality, opposition, and alliance. In 1805 he joined Britain in the War of the Third Coalition against Napoleon, but after the massive defeat at the Battle of Austerlitz he switched and formed an alliance with Napoleon by the Treaty of Tilsit (1807) and joined Napoleon's Continental System...Alexander and Napoleon hardly agreed, especially regarding Poland, and the alliance collapsed by 1810. The tsar's greatest triumph came in 1812 as Napoleon's invasion of Russia proved a total disaster for the French..." ~ Wikipedia

January 2021 update: Local pick up may have a fee depending on size, location, timing of pick up etc. If listing says free pick up, this is the most current update (ebay's system seems to be refusing to remove this old policy and is stuck in a previous decade). Local pick up is not free unless we make arrangements with you in advance. Cash Accepted for local pick up and we're glad to discuss options with you. Have a great year.
