polity Grand Duchy of Moscow: All Data

This page is about the data available for this polity; the chronology of its events is available here.

Was a Russian Principality of the Late Middle Ages centered on Moscow and a predecessor of Russia. The polity originated in 1263 from an hereditary division of the Principality of Vladimir-Suzdal, a vassal of the Golden Horde at the time. Moscow gained full sovereignty by 1480, when the overlordship of the Golden Horde officially ended after its defeat in the Great Stand on the Ugra River. Moscow annexed large territories over time, through conquest or inheritance, and by 1547 it controlled most of modern-day European Russia. Ivan IV was crowned Tsar in 1547, creating the Tsardom of Russia. The polity also includes some (mainly former Lithuanian territories) that were conquered in the period 1376-1480 where probably the Golden Horde had no influence.
