Agrypina or Agrafena (Russian: Агриппина, romanized: Agrippina; fl. 14th century) was a Lithuanian noblewoman from the Gediminid dynasty. She was a daughter of Grand Duke Algirdas by his first wife Maria of Vitebsk.[1][2] In 1354, she married the Russian prince Boris of Suzdal and became the princess of Nizhny Novgorod-Suzdal.
Life
[edit]She was a daughter of Grand Duke Algirdas by his first wife Maria of Vitebsk.[2]
In 1354, she married Boris of Suzdal, son of Konstantin and brother of Dmitry.[2][3][4] This is only mentioned in the Suprasl Chronicle, a transcription of the first Lithuanian Chronicle. One Russian chronicle, the Voskresensky Chronicle, confirms the marriage, but does not record the bride's name. That is the only reliable information available about Agrypina. Her husband attempted to take control over the throne of Nizhny Novgorod-Suzdal following the death of Andrey of Suzdal, but failed when he was opposed by Grand Prince Dmitry of Moscow.[5][6]
