Summary/Abstract: The current study is grounded in the examination of three dynastic marriage projects pursued between 1921 and 1926—the last of which was, in practical terms, terminated in 1930—concerning the Royal House of Romania and that of Bulgaria, more precisely involving one of the Romanian princesses, Mărioara or Ileana, and Tsar Boris III of Bulgaria. The analytical paradigm underpinning this research consists in tracing the evolution of Romanian–Bulgarian bilateral relations from an innovative and hitherto unexplored perspective within Romanian historiography, namely the implications of matrimonial alliances in the foreign policies of the two states.
