Alexander Yaroslavich Nevsky[1] (Russian: Александр Ярославич Невский; IPA:[ɐlʲɪˈksandrjɪrɐˈsɫavʲɪtɕˈnʲɛfskʲɪj]ⓘ; monastic name: Aleksiy;[2] 13 May 1221[3] – 14 November 1263) was Prince of Novgorod (1236–1240; 1241–1256; 1258–1259), Grand Prince of Kiev (1246–1263) and Grand Prince of Vladimir (1252–1263).
Commonly regarded as a key figure in medieval Russian history,[4] Alexander was a grandson of Vsevolod the Big Nest and rose to legendary status on account of his military victories over Swedish invaders. He preserved separate statehood and Orthodoxy, agreeing to pay tribute to the powerful Golden Horde. Metropolitan Macarius of Moscow canonized Alexander Nevsky as a saint of the Russian Orthodox Church in 1547.[5]
