Vsevolod's possessions occupied the upper reaches of the Volga from the modern Zubtsov to Yaroslavl, the main part was along the right bank of the Volga, in the south to the Oka ; the principality included cities: Tver , Ksnyatin , Yaroslavl, Rostov , Moscow , etc. After the death of Michael in 1176 Vsevolod sat in Vladimir.

In 1207 he planted his son Yaroslav in Pereyaslavl. The principality was again allocated to the lot by the death of Vsevolod and included Tver and Dmitrov.

In 1238, Yaroslav was in Kiev, but Pereyaslavl and Tver provided fierce resistance to the Mongols. Pereyaslavl was taken by the Mongol princes together for 5 days. The same resistance was fought by Tver, in which one of the sons of Yaroslav was killed, whose name was not preserved. Soon Pereyaslavl was restored. After the death of Yaroslav Vsevolodovich, the Tver principality separated in the line of descendants of his son Yaroslav. In 1262, in North-Eastern Russia, including Pereyaslavl, there was an uprising of the population against the Mongol-Tatar yoke. To prevent a punitive march, Alexander went to the Golden Horde, on the road from where he died in 1263. The Principality was transferred to his son Dmitry Aleksandrovich, who ruled them until 1294. In 1274 Dmitry Alexandrovich became the Grand Duke of Vladimir, remaining at the same time in Pereyaslavl. This was the time of the greatest prosperity of the principality. Its core was the land around Pleshcheyev Lake. The Principality bordered Moscow, Dmitrov and Tver in the west and north-west, with Rostov , Yuryev-Polsky and Vladimir in the east, southeast and northeast.

In 1302 died last Pereslavl-Zaleski Prince Ivan D., left no direct heirs, and the principality of his legacy passed to his uncle, Daniel A. , the first Duke of Moscow , but after approval by the great reign of Vladimir , Mikhail Yaroslavich Tver Pereyaslavl returned to the Grand Duchy of Vladimirsky [1] , in which he finally fell under the control of the Moscow princes in 1333 - 1363. For the first time Pereyaslavl is mentioned in the testament of Dmitry Donskoy ( 1389 ) [2]. The city has since been ruled by Moscow governors ; Sometimes it was given to the feeding of the new princes (for example, Dmitry Olgerdovich in 1379 - 1380, Svidrigailo Olgerdovich in 1408 ).
