He was designated Emperor of Russia after his brother Nicholas II abdicated in 1917 and proclaimed him "Emperor Michael II", but Michael declined to take power a day later.

After the assassination of his grandfather in 1881, he became third in line and, in 1894, after the death of his father, second in line. Read more on Wikipedia
