Thanks to a close kinship with the Grand Dukes, the Lithuanian Patrick was met with respect. And his son Yuri enjoyed the respect of Basil I [1] and in 1418 [2] intermarried with the Grand Duke, due to which he took first place among the Moscow boyars [3]. According to sources, Yuri Patrikeevich "dropped in" many of the boyars of Basil I [4] [5].

In 1425, Yuri Patrikeevich was mentioned by one of the witnesses in the will of Grand Duke Vasily I [1] [2].

In 1433, Yuri Patrikeevich was sent by Grand Duke Vasily II at the head of the army to Kostroma against the Galician princes Vasily Kosoy and Dmitry Shemyaki. However, in the battle that took place at the Kus river the army of Yuri was defeated, and he himself was taken prisoner [1] [2] [6].

In 1437, Yuri Patrikevich, on the orders of the Grand Duke, went to Novgorod to ask for " black boron " from the city's residents, but they were denied him [1] [2] [7].

In 1439, Basil II, who went to collect troops, fearing the raid of Ulu-Muhammad, left Yuri Patrikeevich for the defense of Moscow [1] [2] [7].

After 1439 there was no news of Yuri Patrikeevich. His place in the Boyar Duma was inherited by the younger son Ivan [7], while the eldest son, Vasily, apparently, died early [8].
