Dmitry Mikhailovich (Russian:Дмитрий Михайлович; 1298 – 15 September 1326), nicknamedthe Fearsome Eyes orthe Terrible Eyes (Russian:Грозные Очи),^[1] wasPrince of Tver from 1318 andGrand Prince of Vladimir from 1322 until his death in 1326, when he was executed inSarai by the Mongols.^[2] He was a son ofMikhail of Tver andAnna of Kashin.^[3]^[4]

Life

[edit]

Dmitry continued his father's fight with Grand PrinceYuri Danilovich of Moscow for theyarlik (also iarlik) that is, the diploma or patent of office for the title of Grand Prince of Vladimir, which was granted by the Khan of the Golden Horde. The title was much desired because the Grand Prince of Vladimir was the khan's tax-collector in Rus', and as such could gain authority and real power over the other princes of Rus'.

Following Yury's machinations which led the khan to grant theyarlik to Moscow and their father's execution by the Horde in 1318, Dmitry and his brother,Alexander, fought a series of battles with Yury. They prevailed against him at the Horde, culminating in Dmitry's acquisition of theyarlik of office for the grand princely throne in 1322 and his murder of Yury at the Horde (inSarai) three years later in 1325. Dmitry was himself arrested for the murder and executed in Sarai on the orders ofUzbeg Khan in 1326, while Yury's remains were returned to Moscow and buried by the bishops of theRussian Orthodox Church headed byMetropolitan Peter.^[5] Dmitry's remains were taken back to Tver and interred in the cathedral there.^[6]
