Konstantin Vsevolodovich of Vladimir

Konstantin Vsevolodovich (1185–1218), surnamed the Wise, was the eldest son of Vsevolod the Big Nest of Vladimir. He ruled Novgorod from 1205 and received Rostov and Yaroslavl in 1208.

When Vsevolod left Vladimir to his son Yuri, Konstantin resisted, and at Lipitsa in 1216 he and Mstislav the Bold defeated Yuri, making Konstantin grand prince of Vladimir. He founded the Assumption Cathedral in Rostov and amassed a great library. He died in 1218, leaving Rostov to his son Vasilko; Yuri regained Vladimir.
