Saint Prince Alexander Nevsky of Novgorod
May 13, 1221 - November 14, 1263
Alexander Yaroslavich Nevsky was a Prince of Novgorod, Grand Prince of Kiev, and Grand Prince of Vladimir, during the Mongol conquest.
Commonly regarded as a key figure of medieval Rus', Alexander was a grandson of Vsevolod the Big Nest and rose to legendary status on account of his military victories over German and Swedish invaders. He preserved separate statehood and Orthodoxy, agreeing to pay tribute to the powerful Golden Horde. Metropolitan Macarius of Moscow canonized Alexander Nevsky as a saint of the Russian Orthodox Church in 1547.
