Konstantin Vsevolodovich of Yaroslavl was born circa 1230 in Yaroslavl, Yaroslavl Oblast, Russia to Vsevolod Konstantinovich of Yaroslavl (1210-1238) and Olga Olgovna of Kursk (c1211-c1270) and died 16 July 1257 Yaroslavl, Yaroslavl Oblast, Russia (Battle of Mount Tugov) of unspecified causes.

Konstantin Vsevolodovich (Russian: Константин Влеволодович Князь Ярославский) was the younger of the two sons of the Vsevolod Konstantinovich of Yaroslavl and the third Prince of Yaroslavl.

Biography

There are no chronicles about his life; there are only legends and stories about his life. He died on July 16, 1257 (July 3, 1257 old style) in the Battle of Mount Tugov near Yaroslavl, where he was defeated by the Mongol army.

Canonization by the Russian Orthodox Church

Konstantin Vsevolodovich and his brother Vasili Vsevolodovich were canonized after their relics had been found in 1501 after a fire in the Assumption Cathedral in Yaroslavl. The relics have become a major treasure of the Cathedral. In 1744, due to negligence, a fire started from a candle, destroyed the shrine where the relics were kept. The parts of the relics which could be recovered are now stored in a silver casket in the same cathedral.

The two Holy Princes are celebrated by the Russian Orthodox Church on July 3, day of Konstantin's death and on May 23, dedicated to all the saints of Rostov and Yaroslavl.
