Alexander I, czar of Russia, was born November 6, 1777, and ascended the throne in 1801. He was concerned in all the wars of Napoleon, either as his enemy or as his ally. As a ruler, he was able and humane, but in his wars he was usually on the side opposed to the cause of public liberty. He died in 1825.
