Please place your cursor over the names to see which ones have direct links to expanded information. For Mikhail Davidovich's family origins in the marriages of Rostislav Mstislavich please see this chart. All individuals in turn are linked directly with fathers and sons so that one may move through the entire Rurikid dynasty.
Mikhail Davidovich began the line of Yaroslavl princes who were given a separate votchina - the Mologa principality. The principality was then divided by his sons when they created udels for several of their sons. The Mologa principality was on the north-west edge of Moscow and east edge of Tver, thus it was automatically involved in the momentous struggle for supremacy. The Mologa princes opted for Moscow. Eventually of course the whole principality was incorporated into Muscovy and the 3rd and 4th generation princes after Mikhail became service princes of the Muscovite tsar. The individual biographical entries contain some details.
