Dmitry Borisovich

Dmitry Borisovich was born in 1253. He was the eldest of the three sons of Boris of Rostov from his marriage to Maria Yaroslavna of Murom. In 1277, Dmitry and his mother brought back the body of his father from the Golden Horde. He occupied the throne of Rostov along with his younger brother Konstantin following the death of Gleb of Beloozero in 1278. Dmitry was not satisfied with this arrangement, and in 1279, he took the throne of Beloozero from his cousin Mikhail Glebovich and then forced his brother Konstantin to leave Rostov in 1281. Grand Prince Dmitry Aleksandrovich and the bishop of Rostov allowed him to reconcile with his brother. However, Konstantin took part in Andrey Aleksandrovich's campaign against Dmitry Aleksandrovich in 1285, which led to the devastation of Rostov. In 1285, Dmitry's cousin Roman Vladimirovich died without an heir, which allowed him to take the throne of Uglich.
