Reign
[edit]According to the Nikon Chronicle, Mikhail was the son of Andrey Yaroslavich.[4] Mikhail resided in Gorodets until 1279, when his old brother Yury died and Mikhail became the prince of Suzdal.[3] In 1305, according to several Russian chronicles,[a] Mikhail married a Tatar woman and stopped at Nizhny Novgorod in order to put to death those vechniki, or residents, who were responsible for the murder of the boyars of the late grand prince, Andrey. In other versions, it was Mikhail of Tver who executed them.[5] He died the same year and was succeeded by Vasily.[3]
