Vladimir-Suzdal

The Grand Principality of Vladimir (before 1157 the Principality of Suzdal), also known as Vladimir-Suzdal, was a medieval principality established after the dissolution of Kievan Rus'. In historical terms, the territory of this grand principality is also known as northeast Rus'.

The principality was formed in the 12th century, centered in Suzdal and then Vladimir. Over time, it evolved into a Grand Principality divided into several smaller principalities. After being conquered by the Mongol Empire, it became an autonomous state led by its nobility. However, the Golden Horde's Khan (jarlig) granted the ruler from any of the smaller principalities' noble families.

Vladimir-Suzdal is traditionally considered the origin of the Russian, and gradually developed into the Grand Duchy of Moscow.
