- Moscow · appanage prince
- Status
- Prince of Moscow, not Grand Prince of Vladimir
- Chronology
- Receiving an appanage at an early age does not imply that he governed independently as a child
- Shift in timeline focus
- From this card, the timeline focuses on the Moscow line. The Grand Principality of Vladimir continued to exist separately; this is not an unbroken transfer of a single authority from Vladimir to Moscow.
