Prince Of Novgorod
The Prince of Novgorod () was the title of the ruler of Veliky Novgorod, Novgorod in present-day Russia. From 1136, it was the title of the figurehead leader of the Novgorod Republic. The position was originally an appointed one until the late 11th or early 12th century, then became something of an elective one until the early 14th century, after which the grand prince of Vladimir (who was almost always the prince of Moscow) was almost invariably the prince of Novgorod as well. The title originates sometime in the 9th century when, according to tradition, the Varangian chieftain Rurik and his brothers were invited to rule over the East Slavs, East Slavic and Finnic peoples, Finnic tribes of northwest Russia, but reliable information about it dates only to the late 10th century when Vladimir the Great, Vladimir, the youngest son of Sviatoslav I, was made the prince of Novgorod. During the reign of Ivan III of Russia, Ivan III, the title was restored and Novgorod was include ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Vsevolod The Big Nest
Vsevolod III Yuryevich, or Vsevolod the Big Nest (; 1154–1212), was Grand Prince of Vladimir from 1176 to 1212. During his long reign, the city reached the zenith of its glory. Family Vsevolod was the tenth or eleventh son of Yuri Dolgoruky (c. 1099 – 1157), who founded the town Dmitrov to commemorate the site of Vsevolod's birth.
