About Charles Michael, Duke of Mecklenburg

Charles Michael eventually left Russia with his family arriving first in France before going into exile in Denmark. As a result, the succession issue could not be resolved in time and the two Mecklenburg grand duchies became separate free states in the Weimar Republic.
