Rozhdestveno

Rozhdestveno stood on the Klyazma in the lands of the princes of Starodub. The village took its name from its church of the Nativity and later became known as Kovrov. The river connected it to Vladimir upstream and to the Oka basin downstream. As the Starodub principality divided into smaller holdings, villages such as Rozhdestveno remained part of the estates of its princely families and the farming country along the Klyazma.
