- hundreds claimed by Russian chronicles
is a later time addition to the cronicles. The chronicles say: "В лето 6750 не бысть ничтоже", which means "in the year 6750 nothing happened", 6750 being 1242. I think the frase should be "claimed later by Russian sources" Compay 10:17, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Canonization?
The article says 1547, but I found various sources mentioning different dates, amongst others 1267 and 1381. —Vildricianus 16:14, 16 May 2006 (UTC) 16:14, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
It would also be helpful if the article gave some reason why he was canonized. I assume that he must have done something besides be a great leader in order to become a saint? Cdixon 22:20, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Personal Life?
Did he have a family? Children? This article gives us only the political take on the man.
He had at least two sons. One of them, Dmitry of Pereslavl, has a wikipedia article on him. Andrew II and Yaroslav III were Alexander's brothers. The rules of succession in the Russian states were rather bewildering.--Syd Henderson 04:58, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Audio File?
Shouldn't the audio file be in a more user friendly format? I don't even know what an .ogg file is.
[edit] Strange dry view on Alexander Nevsky
There are tons of books written on Alexander Nevsky by famous Russian historians of the past. I wish somebody could add extracts from Karamzin (XVIII century)and Soloviev (XIX century)works who were using interesting sources. In this article we see old-fashioned Soviet-type view on Nevsky, while he was much more than that, he was a product of those barbaric times.
