Dmitry Donskoy
1350 CE–1389 CE · Moscow
Dmitry Donskoy (1350–1389) was Prince of Moscow from 1359 and Grand Prince of Vladimir from 1363, ruling during the era of Mongol overlordship. He is best known for leading a coalition of Russian principalities to victory over forces of the Golden Horde at the Battle of Kulikovo in 1380, from which his by-name ("of the Don") derives. Although the Horde soon reasserted its dominance and sacked Moscow in 1382, the victory became an enduring symbol of Russian resistance. His reign also strengthened Moscow's leading position among the Russian principalities.
