Boris Mikhailovich

Boris was the son of Mikhail Yaroslavich Khorobrit, who was the younger brother of Aleksandr Nevsky, and would thus have been Daniel's uncle. Boris' father was briefly the grand prince of Vladimir in 1248, but Boris never seems to have held that title. Following Boris' death, Daniel received Moscow and his first activity as prince of Moscow is mentioned under the year 1283.^[1]
