Andrei I Yuryevich, commonly known under his
sobriquet Andrei Bogolyubsky (, "Andrei the God-Loving") (c. 1111 – June 28, 1174) was
Grand prince of
Vladimir-Suzdal from 1157 till his death. His reign saw a complete decline of
Kiev's rule over northeastern Rus, and rise of
Vladimir as the new capital city. Andrei was known in the West as
Scythian Caesar, and is beatified as a saint in
Russian Orthodox Church.
