Vasily of Suzdal

About Vasily of Suzdal
Vasily (; died 1309) was Prince of Suzdal from 1305 to 1309. He was the father of Aleksandr of Suzdal .
Life Practically nothing is known about Vasily. He is mentioned in the Nikon Chronicle in connection with his death, where he is given the patronymic "Mikhailovich". The historian says "this only mention of Prince Vasily Mikhailovich in Russian chronicle collections is very difficult to interpret".
His father may have been Mikhail Andreyevich, the son of Andrey Yaroslavich and the prince of Suzdal until 1305. However, this contradicts an earlier genealogical source and later genealogical books, where Vasily is mentioned as a son of Andrey. Therefore, it is possible that the compiler of the Nikon Chronicle made an error.
Family Vasily may have been born and his son Aleksandr was most likely born in the late 1290s. He had another son, Konstantin.
