Yuri Yaroslavich of Murom

Yuri, or Georgy, Yaroslavich was prince of Murom from 1345 to 1354, succeeding Vasily. In 1351 he rebuilt long-deserted Murom: he set up his court there, settlers followed, and he restored the churches.

In 1354 Fyodor Glebovich, backed by the Golden Horde, drove him out. They pleaded their claims before the Horde's princes; Fyodor won and imprisoned Yuri, who died in prison the same year. He is venerated as a local saint of Murom.
