Suzdal
Suzdal was a Rus principality on the Kamenka River north of Vladimir. In 1337 it was ruled by the Rurikid prince Konstantin Vasilyevich.
In 1341 Konstantin joined Suzdal with Nizhny Novgorod, moving his capital there in 1350. Vasily I of Moscow annexed the grand principality in 1392. Tatars sacked Suzdal in 1445; in the 16th century Vasily III and Ivan IV rebuilt its churches and monasteries, making the town a religious centre.
