He was the son of Svyatoslav Titovich, appanage prince of Karachev and
Feodora Ol'gyerdovna, princess of Lithuania. He was prince of Massal'. His sons
were Vasilii, Vladimir, and Semyon Kubk, princes of
Massal'. We have no information about Vladimir's children. Semyon was the
founder of the princes Kubkovski-Massal'ski. They are shown on this family
chart.
The Massal'ski udel was taken from the Karachevski principality at the end of
the 14th century as the domain for Yuri to rule as his udel. The udel area
comprised a small greion in the basin of the Snopot River, the upper course of
the Bolva and upper Ugra. At the beginning of the 15th century the Massal'ski
udel was taken by Lithuania, but apparently the Massal'ski princes continued to
rule their lands under Kithuania. In 1493 Massal'sk was taken by the troops of
Ivan III and in 1500 united with Moscow. When this happened the princes,
Dmitrii and Semyon Ivanovich, went into Muscovite service. In 1513 they were
Muscovite voyevoda.
