About Konstantin of Rostov

  • Konstantin Vsevolodovich (Russian: ?????????´? ???´?????????) (May 18, 1186 in Rostov – February 2, 1218) was the eldest son of Vsevolod the Big Nest and Maria Shvarnovna. In 1206 and 1207, he was the prince of Novgorod.
  • In 1207, his father sent him to rule the towns of Rostov and Yaroslavl.
  • In consequence of one domestic squabble, Vsevolod disinherited Konstantin on his deathbed and bequeathed his capital Vladimir to a younger son, Yuri II.
  • In the Battle of Lipitsa (1216), Konstantin and his ally Mstislav of Novgorod soundly defeated Yuri and occupied Vladimir. Upon Konstantin's death in 1218, Yuri returned to the throne.
  • Konstantin's descendants, meanwhile, retained the towns of Rostov and Yaroslavl, where they would reign until the late 15th century.
  • Thus, numerous princely families of Russia issue from this prince.
  • Konstanin is also remembered for building the new Assumption Cathedral in Rostov and three brick cathedrals in Yaroslavl.
