Alexei Trupp
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aloise (Alexei) Yegorovich Trupp (Russian: Алоизий (Алексей) Егорович Трупп, 1858 - July 16, 1918), was a footman in the household of Tsar Nicholas II of Russia. Trupp was born in Lithuania. He was killed with the Romanov family at Ekaterinburg following the Russian Revolution of 1917.
Like the Romanovs and their other servants, Trupp was canonized as a martyr by the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia in 1981 as alleged victims of Soviet oppression. Trupp himself was of the Roman Catholic faith and was not Russian Orthodox.[1] He as well as the other servants were canonized by the Russian Orthodox Church.
