Dmitry Borisovich

Dmitry Borisovich (; 11 September 1253 – 1294) was Prince of Rostov from 1278 to 1286 and again from 1288 to 1294. He was also Prince of Uglich from 1285 to 1288.

Life Dmitry Borisovich was born in 1253. He was the eldest of the three sons of Boris of Rostov from his marriage to of Murom.

In 1277, Dmitry and his mother brought back the body of his father from the Golden Horde. He occupied the throne of Rostov along with his younger brother Konstantin following the death of Gleb of Beloozero in 1278. Dmitry was not satisfied with this arrangement, and in 1279, he took the throne of Beloozero from his cousin Mikhail Glebovich and then forced his brother Konstantin to leave Rostov in 1281. Grand Prince Dmitry Aleksandrovich and the bishop of Rostov allowed him to reconcile with his brother. However, Konstantin took part in Andrey Aleksandrovich's campaign against Dmitry Aleksandrovich in 1285, which led to the devastation of Rostov.

The following year, Dmitry, alongside Dmitry of Pereslavl, Andrey of Gorodets, Daniel of Moscow, and the Novgorodians, marched on Tver in the campaign against Mikhail of Tver. In 1293, he followed Andrey of Gorodets to the Golden Horde and participated in Dyuden's campaign, which caused devastation to numerous Russian towns. However, the following year, Dmitry died and was succeeded by his younger brother Konstantin.
