Prince of Moscow

The Prince of Moscow (Russian: князь московский, romanized: kniaz moskovskii), later known as the Grand Prince of Moscow (великий князь московский, velikii kniaz moskovskii), was the title of the ruler of the Principality of Moscow, initially a part of the grand principality of Vladimir-Suzdal. By the late 14th century, the grand principality was inherited by the prince of Moscow; the monarch bore the title of grand prince of Vladimir and Moscow and later the title of grand prince of Vladimir, Moscow and all Russia.
