Constantine (Russia)
Konstantin Vsevolodowitsch ( Russian Константин Всеволодович ; * 1185 ; † February 2, 1218 ) was Grand Duke of Vladimir from the Rurikids family , eldest son of Vsevolod Yuryevich from 1212 .
Little is known about Constantine's rule. Shortly before his death in 1211, his father Vsevolod Jurjewitsch had called a meeting of nobles, clergy and townspeople, from which he wanted to get the approval of a breach of the seniority principle: not the eldest son Constantine, but the younger Jurij should succeed him. However, this did not succeed. After Vsevolod's death, Constantine was initially able to seize power. Yuri had to flee. Only after Constantine's death in 1218 could he take power.
