He was the third son of Prince
Vasilii II Vasil'yevich Temnii, grand prince of
Moscow and Maria Yaroslavna, princess of Maloyaroslavets. He received Uglich
and Zvenigorod about 1462, and the appanage of Mozhaisk about 1481 but
supported his brother, Ivan III's, efforts to unite all
the Russian lands. He married about in 1470 with Yelena, daughter of Roman Andryeyevich, appanage prince of Meshchevsk.
Their sons were Ivan (born after 1470 and probably died without heirs), and
Dmitrii, prince of Uglich without udel. And their
daughters were Ul'yana, who married Ivan Semyonovich
Bol'shoi, prince of Kuben, and Yevdokia. The family is shown on this chart.Nevertheless, he also supported Casimir, King of
Poland. But he went too far in 1491 when he refused to provide his troops to
Ivan's campaign. Ivan had him arrested and thrown in prison, where he died in
1493.
