Appanage princes of Dogorobuzh, Tver


 * Konstantin Mikhailovich


 * Semyon Konstantinovich, the son of the great prince of Tver Konstantin Mikhailovich , the second prince of the dear, died in 1364 from the pestilance without children and bequeathed his lot to his cousin, Mikhail Aleksandrovich Mikulinsky, thus circumventing the rights of his brother, Jeremiah Konstantinovich.

5) Jeremiah Konstantinovich, the son of Konstantin Mikhailovich, the Grand Duke of Tver; in 1364, after the death of his brother, Prince Semyon Konstantinovich Dorogobuzhsky, was to inherit his inheritance, but he bequeathed him, in addition to his own brother, a cousin - Prince Mikhail Aleksandrovich Mikulinsky (later the Grand Duke of Tver). Jeremiah Konstantinovich decided not to yield his rights to the possession of his brother's lot and concluded an alliance with the Grand Duke of Tver, Basil Mikhailovich, who also did not like the strengthening of Mikhail Alexandrovich. Opponents of the existing custom appealed to the arbitration court of the metropolitan, and the Metropolitan commissioned to dismantle this matter to the Tver sovereign Vladyka. Vasily resolved the dispute in favor of the Mikulino prince, but Jeremiah Konstantinovich was not satisfied with such a court and together with the Tver prince complained about the incorrectness of the decision of the Tver bishop to Moscow - the metropolitan. The end of this second trial is unknown, but soon after, taking advantage of the absence of Mikhail Alexandrovich, who then traveled to Lithuania, Jeremiah Konstantinovich together with the Grand Prince of Tver and Moscow auxiliary troops went to Tver, devastated the lands of Mikhail Aleksandrovich and occupied the inheritance of his brother. But for a short time he had to triumph: on October 27, 1366, Mikhail Alexandrovich returned from Lithuania with auxiliary Lithuanian troops, suddenly appeared in the Tver regions, seized the wife of Jeremiah Konstantinovich, and compelled the Moscow troops to leave the allied Jeremiah. Then Jeremiah Konstantinovich had to ask for peace and received it, refusing, of course, from the rights to the fate of his brother. However, the world was short-lived: in the following year, 1367, restless Jeremiah broke the contract and went to Moscow to solicit the receipt of Semenov's lot. The Grand Duke of Moscow, long longing to intervene in the affairs of Tver, took part in the fate of Jeremiah and invited Prince Mikhail Alexandrovich to Moscow. Tver prince came, but now on arrival he was arrested and although later released, but with the condition of the return of Jeremiah part of Semenov udela. Jeremiah received the town, where he went along with the Moscow governor. After that, he no longer took an active part in the subsequent events and not only lived in peace with Michael, but even later helped him against Moscow and in 1372 sent his son Dimitrii with the Tver governors to the river Kistma against the Moscow army.
