Beloozero
Beloozero was a Rurikid principality around Lake Beloye in the Russian North, established by Gleb Vasilkovich in 1238. By 1337 the princes shared authority with governors sent by Ivan Kalita of Moscow.
Its princes fought at Kulikovo in 1380. In 1389 Dmitry Donskoy subjected Beloozero to Moscow and gave it to his son Andrey. The Kirillo-Belozersky monastery, founded in 1397, became a pillar of Muscovite influence in the north. In 1486 the principality, then united with Vereya, was incorporated into Moscow; descendants of its princes moved there.
