Council of Suzdal (1229)

Suzdal Congress - the princely congress in Suzdal, organized on September 7, 1229 by the Grand Duke of Vladimir Yury Vsevolodovich.

Yaroslav Vsevolodovich, Vasilko , Vsevolod and Vladimir Konstantinovich participated in the congress.

The congress was aimed at reconciling Yuri with other participants, which became necessary after Yaroslav’s suspicion of Yuri about his alliance with Mikhail Vsevolodovich Chernigov. Michael was the prince of Novgorod in 1224-1226, and in 1226 with the help of Yuri (against Oleg Kursk ) became the Chernigov prince (or achieved the redistribution of volosts in his favor). In 1226 Yaroslav became the prince of Novgorod, but in the spring of 1229, Mikhail joined the struggle for Novgorod.

Suspicions of Yaroslav spread to Konstantinovich. The outcome of the congress was the following:

And worship Yuri vsi, possessing father and master

Subsequently (1231) the princes of Vladimir acted jointly against Mikhail.
