Konstantin Borisovich (Russian: Константин Борисович; 1255–1307) was Prince of Rostov from 1278 to 1288 and again from 1294 until his death in 1307.[1] He was also Prince of Uglich from 1288 to 1294. He was one of the three sons of Boris Vasilkovich.[1]
Reign
[edit]Konstantin Borisovich was born in 1255.[2][1] He was one of the three sons of Boris Vasilkovich.[1] In 1277, he accompanied his mother and his elder brother Dmitry during a visit to the Golden Horde.[1] Dmitry carried the body of their father back home, while Konstantin took part in the Mongol campaign against the Alans along with Mengu-Timur.[1]
Following the death of Gleb of Beloozero in 1278, Dmitry and Konstantin became the joint rulers of Rostov.[3] However, Dmitry was not satisfied with this arrangement, which led to conflict between the two brothers.[1] Dmitry had control of Rostov, but in 1285, his cousin Roman Vladimirovich died without heirs.[1] As a result, Dmitry received Uglich and was forced by Tode Mongke to give Rostov to Konstantin.[1] In 1288, Dmitry drove Konstantin out of Rostov with the support of Grand Prince Dmitry Aleksandrovich and exiled him to Uglich.[1]
In 1294, his elder brother Dmitry died without an heir, and Konstantin again became the prince of Rostov.[1] He remained the prince of Rostov until his death in 1307.[4]
Family
[edit]In 1302, Konstantin married a Tatar princess.[1] From his first marriage he had two sons: Aleksandr and Vasily, prince of Rostov.[5] From his second marriage he had a daughter.[5]
