He was the third son of
Fedor Ivanovich Blagovernii, appanage prince of
Starodub. He became appanage prince of Starodub in
1363 when Dmitrii Donskoi threw his older brother
out for siding with Dmitrii Konstantinovich. Andrei
agreed to subordinate his policy in Starodub to Moscow. He married in 1350 to
unknown individual. His sons were Fedor, appanage
prince of Starodub; Vasilii, appanage prince
Pozharski; Ivan, appanage prince Ryaopolovski; and
David, appanage prince Paletski. The family is shown
on this chart.
With the division of the Starodub appanage into several udels for these
sons and others the already not very strong position of the principality was
further weakened.
