Andrey Bogolyubsky

1111 CE1174 CE · Vladimir

Andrey Bogolyubsky (c. 1111–1174) was a prince of Vladimir-Suzdal in the northeast of the Rus lands, ruling from 1157. He shifted the center of political power away from Kiev toward his own principality, developing the city of Vladimir and its surroundings, and in 1169 his forces sacked Kiev, after which he claimed the title of grand prince while continuing to reside in the north. His policy of concentrating authority in his own hands brought him into conflict with the boyar nobility. He was assassinated by a group of conspiring boyars at his residence in Bogolyubovo in 1174.
