Vladimir Konstantinovich (Russian: Владимир Константинович; 1214 – 27 December 1249) was Prince of Uglich from 1218 until his death in 1249.[1]
Reign
Vladimir Konstantinovich was born in 1214.[1][2] He was the youngest of the three sons of Konstantin Vsevolodovich, the grand prince of Vladimir and prince of Rostov.[1] In 1218, just before his death, Konstantin divided his patrimony between his sons: Vasilko received Rostov and likely Beloozero, while Vsevolod received Yaroslavl.[3] Vladimir, who was four, later received Uglich.[3]
In 1218, he attended the consecration of the Sts. Boris and Gleb Church in Rostov.[1] In 1228, he attended the ordination of Mitrofan as bishop in Vladimir.[1] The same year, he participated in the campaign against the Mordvins.[1] In 1231, he attended the consecration of the Assumption Cathedral in Rostov.[1]
In 1238, he participated in the battle of the Sit River during the Mongol conquest; he survived, and in 1244, he visited Batu Khan and was confirmed as prince of Uglich.[1] On 27 December 1249, he died in Vladimir.[1][4] His body was taken to Uglich with the presence of his cousin Alexander Nevsky.[1] As he predeceased Sviatoslav, his children were barred from the grand princely title, according to traditional succession practices.[5]
Family
In 1232, he married Nadezhda Ingvarevna (d. 1278), a princess of Ryazan.[1] They had two sons: Andrey and Roman, princes of Uglich.[1]
