Dmitri Ivanovich the grandson
Dmitri Ivanovich , called the grandson ( Russian Дмитрий (Иванович) Внук , Dmitri Ivanovich Wnuk) (born October 10, 1483 in Moscow , † February 14, 1509 in Moscow) was the grandson of Tsar Ivan III. temporarily Grand Duke and heir to the throne of the Grand Duchy of Moscow .
Life
Dmitri was born as the son of Ivan Ivanovich "the boy" , the eldest son and thus heir to the throne of Ivan III, and the daughter of the Moldovan Prince Stephen the Great Helena, Russian Jelena Stepanovna, called "Voloschanka".
On March 7, 1490, Ivan Ivanovich died while his father was alive. In the following years there were intrigues between supporters of the second son of Ivan III. (from the second wife Sofia Palaiologa ) Vasily and his grandson Dmitri for the succession to the throne. Initially, Ivan III favored. his grandson, who accompanied him to Novgorod as early as 1495 , and whom he had crowned with the cap of Monomakh on February 4, 1498 in the Assumption Cathedral of the Moscow Kremlin and declared Grand Duke, heir to the throne and formal co-regent.
Apparently, 14-year-old Dmitri did not play a noticeable political role. In addition, Ivan III. trust in his son Vasily again and made him Grand Duke of Novgorod and Pskov in 1499 . In particular, after the resurgence of the war against the Grand Duchy of Lithuania in 1500, Wassili's influence continued to grow.
On April 11, 1502, the titles of Grand Duke of Moscow and Vladimir and heir to the throne were revoked from Dmitri and handed over to Vasily a little later. The exact reason for this development is not known. Dmitri and his mother were placed under arrest and later imprisoned. Wassili entered on October 27, 1505 as Wassili III. to succeed his father as Tsar of Russia.
After his mother's death in 1505, Dmitri died in prison on February 14, 1509 under unknown circumstances (“hunger and cold” or smoke inhalation are given), but was buried in the Archangel Michael Cathedral of the Moscow Kremlin, the burial place of all Russian tsars Peter I.
