Today we also celebrate the Right Believing Prince Alexander Nevsky. Saint Alexander was the Prince of Novgorod, Grand Prince of Kiev, and Grand Prince of Vladimir. He enjoyed military victories over Sweden and Germany, earning the reputation of a hero. He was posthumously beatified as a saint by the Russian Orthodox Church in 1547. Nevsky, who was a grandson of Vsevolod III Yuryevich, was elected the Prince of Novgorod in 1236. Three years after becoming the prince, he married Paraskeviya, a daughter of the Prince of Polatsk. As a ruler, he continued to restore Russia by promulgating laws and building fortifications. He also changed the constitutional base of ruling in Novgorod to implement institutional sovereignty. Due to his bonding with Sartaq Khan, the son of Mongol ruler Batu Khan, Nevsky was proclaimed the Grand Prince of Vladimir in 1252. The prince died in 1263, at the age of 42. Shortly before his death, he had taken monastic vows and received the religious name of Alexis.
