From 1157 to 1238, the principality's capital was Vladimir on the Klyazma,[citation needed] which had been founded in 1108.[9] In 1151 Andrey Bogolyubsky secretly left Vyshgorod, the domain of his father in the Principality of Kiev, and migrated to Suzdal.[citation needed] In 1157 he became prince of the principalities of Vladimir, Suzdal and Rostov.[citation needed] He sacked Kiev in 1169, installing his younger brother Gleb as new grand prince of Kiev.[10]

By the mid-14th century and especially during the Great Troubles (1359–1382), the khan's alliance with Moscow made the latter militarily and administratively powerful enough to economically and demographically devastate its rivals, notably Tver.[13] The khans therefore started awarding the grand princely title to Moscow's rivals.[14] In 1353, Konstantin Vasilyevich of Nizhny Novgorod-Suzdal unsuccessfully tried to obtain the title of grand prince of Vladimir,[15] and in 1371 it was awarded to Mikhail II of Tver.[15] But by that time it was too late for the Golden Horde to curb the rise of Muscovy.[16] Tokhtamysh allowed Vasily I of Moscow to succeed his father Dmitry Donskoy as grand prince of Vladimir in 1389.[17]

Notes
- ^ a b c Historian Janet Martin (2007) uses "prince of Vladimir" from Andrey Bogolyubsky in 1157 until Alexander Nevsky in 1252; Yaroslav Yaroslavich of Tver is the first monarch to be named "grand prince of Vladimir" in 1263.[1]
- ^ During the 14th century, "political history is dominated by the vicious struggle between Moscow and Tver' for supremacy in Vladimir-Suzdalia. In the drive for power, both states had to address Sarai, for the Golden Horde had the uncontested prerogative of determining succession to the symbolic throne of the grand prince of Vladimir. In this new political climate, the Mongols abandoned the now obsolete policy of respecting the traditional Russian lines of succession."[11]
