Marriage
In her youth, Princess Marie was considered a suitable match for marriage to the royalty of Europe. Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon (Elizabeth Angela Marguerite 4 August 1900 &ndash 30 March 2002 was the Queen Consort of King George Her first cousin, Prince George of Wales, later King George V, fell in love with her and proposed marriage. Marie's father and George's father approved of the marriage, but Marie's mother disdained the British Royal Family and was keen to see her daughters marry outside its court.

Her correspondence with her longtime secret confidante, the American dancer Loie Fuller, revealed "the distaste, which grew to revulsion" that Marie felt for her husband. Loie Fuller (also Loïe Fuller, born Marie Louise Fuller) ( January 15, 1862 &ndash January 1, 1928) was a pioneer of both (Easterman, 1942, 58) The last two children were born after Marie met her long-time lover, Barbu Ştirbey, and historians generally agree that Prince Mircea was his son (having brown eyes, unlike Marie and Ferdinand) , while Ileana's paternity is under discussion . Prince Barbu Ştirbey (1873&ndash1946 was briefly Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Romania in 1927 The two eldest children, Carol and Elisabeth, were quite certainly biologically Ferdinand's.

Marie had become a Romanian patriot, and her influence in that country was large. A. L. Easterman writes that King Ferdinand was "a quiet, easy-going man, of no significant character… it was not he, but Marie who ruled in Roumania. " He credits Marie's sympathies for the Allies as being "the major influence in bringing her country to their side" in the war. (Easterman, 1942, 28–29)

During the war she volunteered as a Red Cross nurse to help the sick and wounded and wrote a book, My Country to raise funds for the Red Cross, but these were by no means her most notable contributions to the war effort. The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement is an International humanitarian movement with approximately 97 million volunteers worldwide who stated A nurse is responsible—along with other Health care Professionals —for the treatment safety and recovery of acutely or chronically In 1917, with the country half-overrun by the German army, she and a group of military advisers devised the plan by which the Romanian army, rather than retreating into Russia, would choose a triangle of the country in which to stand and fight; and through a letter to Loie Fuller she set in motion the series of events that brought a timely American loan to Romania, providing the necessary funds to carry out the plan. (Fortuitously, the young woman from the U. S. embassy who delivered the letter to Fuller was the former ward (legal) of Newton D. Baker, by this time serving as U. In Law, a ward is someone placed under the protection of a Legal guardian. Newton Diehl Baker Jr ( December 3, 1871 &ndash December 25, 1937) was an American Politician of the United States S. Secretary of War. Fuller and the young woman traveled from Paris to Washington, DC and secured an audience with Baker who, along with U. S. Secretary of the Treasury Carter Glass, arranged the loan. Carter Glass ( January 4, 1858 &ndash May 28, 1946) was a Newspaper publisher and a American politician from Lynchburg )

After the war ended, the Great Powers decided to settle affairs at Versailles. A great power is a Nation or State that has the ability to exert its influence on a global scale The Treaty of Versailles was one of the peace treaties at the end of World War I. The Romanian objective was to gain territories from the now-defunct Austria-Hungary and also from Russia, thereby uniting all Romanian-speakers in a single state. With the Romanian delegation losing ground in the negotiations, Prime Minister Ion Bratianu called upon the Queen to travel to France. Ion C Brătianu ( June 2 1821 &mdash May 16 1891) was one of the major political figures of 19th century Romania. Marie famously declared that "Romania needs a face, and I will be that face," astutely calculating that the international press was growing tired of the endless negotiations and would be unable to resist the glamour of a Royal Visit. The arrival of the so-called Soldier Queen was an international media sensation and she argued passionately that the Western powers should honour their debt to Romania (which had suffered a casualty rate proportionately far greater than Britain, France or the USA). Behind the scenes, she alternately charmed and bullied the Allied leaders into backing the Romanian cause. [1] As a direct result of her charismatic intervention, Romania won back the initiative and successfully achieved all its pre-conference aims, eventually expanding its territory by 40%, gaining Transylvania, Bessarabia as well as parts of Bukovina and the Banat. Transylvania (Ardeal or ro ''Transilvania'' Erdély, see also other denominations) is a Central European region located in the eastern half of the Carpathian Bessarabia ( Basarabia in Romanian, Бесарабія in Ukrainian, Бессарабия in Russian, Бесарабия in Bulgarian Bukovina (Bucovina Буковина/ Bukovyna; German and Polish: Bukowina; see also other languages) is a historical region on the The Banat is a geographical and historical region in Central Europe currently divided between three countries the eastern part lies in Romania (the counties
Ferdinand and Marie's son, the Crown Prince Carol (later King Carol II), was never close to his father—by the time Carol was an adult, their antagonism became an "open breach" (Easterman, 1942, 29)—but there continued to be a "deep bond of affection and sympathy" between Carol and Marie. Carol II of Romania ( 15 October / 16 October 1893 &ndash 4 April 1953) reigned as King of Romania from June 8 (Easterman, 1942, 30–31) Their relationship, however, deteriorated. The initial conflict came over Carol's objections to Marie's relationship with Prince Ştirbey; the breach was exacerbated as Marie attempted to steer Carol toward a dynastic marriage rather than allow him to choose his own bride. (Easterman, 1942, 31–32) During Carol's exile in Paris, Loie Fuller had befriended Carol and his mistress Magda Lupescu; they were unaware of Fuller's connection to Marie. Elena Lupescu ( 15 September 1895 (? in Iaşi (Jassy Romania – 29 June 1977) better known as Magda Lupescu Fuller initially advocated to Marie on their behalf, but later schemed unsuccessfully with Marie to separate Carol from Lupescu. (Easterman, 1942, 58–61) Eventually, when Carol became King and did not seek her counsel, the breach between mother and son became complete. (Easterman, 1942, 31, 86–87)
After the death of her husband in 1927, Queen Marie remained in Romania, writing books and her memoirs, The Story of My Life. Year 1927 ( MCMXXVII) was a Common year starting on Saturday (link will display full calendar of the Gregorian calendar.

Many of her other personal effects can be seen in the home of Sam Hill, an American with whom Queen Marie had a corespondence for much of her life. The home, now called the Maryhill Museum lies in the Northwest of the U. S. on the Washington side of the Columbia River. It displays much of Queen Marie's regalia, furniture, and other possessions including her crown.
Religious beliefs
She is held in high esteem by members of the Bahá'í Faith as she was the first Royal to declare faith in that religion. The Bahá'í Faith is a Religion founded by Bahá'u'lláh in nineteenth-century Persia, emphasizing the spiritual unity of all humankind Her religious background was of the Church of England, although she is known to have incorporated herself into the Orthodox Christian beliefs of Romanian nationals. In her late years, she was approached by Martha Root, a well-recognized traveling "teacher", on the topic of the Bahá'í Faith. Martha Louise Root ( August 19, 1872 &ndash September 28, 1939) was a prominent traveling teacher of the Bahá'í Faith in the late Bahá'ís recognize Queen Marie of Romania as the first Monarch to have declared her belief in Bahá'u'lláh.

In regard to the Bahá'í Faith, Queen Marie stated:
"It is like a wide embrace gathering all those who have long searched for words of hope… Saddened by the continual strife amongst believers of many confessions and wearied of their intolerance towards each other, I discovered in the Bahá'í teaching the real spirit of Christ so often denied and misunderstood.
