Something is “wrong” with little Leopold…….When he has a little trip, or falls…he spends days in bed with awful swelling.
When he gets a cut, or bleeds…they can’t stop it
Leo
The basics of Hemophilia
It only affects the
X chromosome
The Genetic “defect” hampers the body’s ability to “clot” cuts and bruises
So a person who has hemophilia can die from a simple cut or fall
Also…girls are usually never affected by this
genetic “problem”…..but we can carry it and pass
it on to our kids…
So what happens to Leopold?
I do grow up…and have some
“close calls”
However I slipped and fell
while vacationing in France…it was to much for my
body to handle……..
1884
Ok kids, so you know this disease is fatal….
This is sad for any family…but this is not
just your ordinary family…
This is Queen Victoria kids, they will marry
into other royal families…
Who then will have kids who will “run”
the countries of Europe….It may not be a problem unless
You still have an absolute Monarchy, girls can’t rule, and you have only one son…who shows signs of what Leopold
had
Alexandra gets married to the Czar of Russia. Czar Nicholas II
In Russia ya need a son…no girl
can “really” run the country…
Kids of Alexandra and Czar Nicholas II…
Olga Tatiana MariaAnastasia
Um…man?....got a lot of girls
there….don’t blow this….
When Alexi was a couple months old, he started to bleed and swell up…bad,
Leopold bad
This “kid”, is the hopes, and dreams of not only a family but of an entire nation…and
he needs to live…his hemophilia is kept a
“secret”
Russian Doctors are unable to help, cure, fix, heal, Alexi…
So the Russian Royal family called in a “guy” who is rumored to have a connection with god and special powers
One day Alexi hurts his knee….bad…real bad……Leopold bad
Looks like I ain’t gonna make it…
Everbodies cill out tere, Rasputin got disWhat ever “PRAYER” Rasputin gives
“helps” Alexi
Since this, uneducated- religious peasant freak-show has “healed” the heir to the Russian throne…the Czar and Czarina listen to every word of advice he gives…
The problem with Rasputin is…..
Not only is he giving the royal family catastrophic adviceBut he is a “legend” when it comes to
partying…and it is the talk of the Russian royal court… Rasputin has
to go…..

We then roll his body up in a rug and dump it in a
