Zubtsov

Zubtsov was an appanage of Tver, centered on the fortress at the junction of the Volga and Vazuza. In 1337 its prince was Aleksandr Mikhailovich, who had received the southwestern lands in the division of 1319.

Aleksandr and his son Fyodor were executed at the Golden Horde in 1339. His widow and younger sons kept Zubtsov until plague killed most of the line in 1364 and 1365, returning it to the Tver grand princes. It was an appanage again from 1426 to about 1460, and passed with Tver to Moscow in 1485.
