From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The title of Prince of Tver was born by members of the Rurikids dynasty who ruled the Principality of Tver. In 1247 Tver was allocated to Grand Prince Alexander Nevsky, and became an independent principality. In 1252, the principality passed to his brother Yaroslav, who became the ancestor of the Tver dynasty of princes.
