Ivan II of Russia

Ivan II Ivanovich the Beautiful (Иван II Иванович Красный in Russian) (March 30, 1326November 13, 1359) was a ruler of Moscow (13531359).

Upon succeeding his brother Semeon to the throne, Ivan initially toyed with abandoning the traditional Muscovite allegiance to the Mongols and allying with Lithuania. This policy was quickly abandoned, however, and for the later part of his reign Ivan was loyal to the Khan.

Wives:

  1. Feodosia, daughter of Bryansk Prince Dmitry 1341-1342
  2. Grand Duchess Alexandra Ivanovna (1345-1359, d. December 27, 1364)
