	LoAR Cover Letter
		"Velikii Kniaz" (usually translated as Grand Prince) was the title used by the premier Russian ruler: first by the Kievan Prince, then by the Muscovite Prince (up to Ivan IV who assumed the title "Tsar").
		We have seen that the title Velikii Kniaz meant "Grand" or "High Prince." Although the Russian word "kniaz" is usually translated as "prince," it does not quite correspond to the Western European word.
		However the adjectives attached to some of them ("Velikii," "Starshii" or "Mladshii" and their feminine forms) would not be used when addressing the person, only when referring to them in an official manner.

	The church of Estonia by Vlassios Phidas
		The spread of Christianity into Estonia was related to the activities of the Byzantine mission to Russia in the late tenth and early eleventh century.

		This town was to be the centre of the mission to Estonia, and it became a bishopric of the metropolitan see of Kiev and All Russia.

		The foremost rider, mounted on a prancing blue roan, wore a fur-trimmed, rounded, brocade hat and the distinctive short cloak draped over his left shoulder: Kniaz Aleksandr, elder son of the Grand Prince Iaroslav, the Velikii Kniaz, followed by his lieutenants.
		By the agreement signed over a hundred years earlier, the Kniaz didn't involve himself in the internal affairs of the city, unless expressly summoned by the notables.
		His duties were clearly stipulated and circumscribed: he must defend the city against outsiders, enforce civil law in judicial courts, and police the city.

	Was Grand Prince Algirdas A Greek Orthodox Christian?
		The title "Grand Prince" seems more appropriate than that of "Grand Duke", presently entrenched in Lithuanian historiography, since Algirdas is called "Grand Prince" (Supremus princeps or velikii kniaz) in the few surviving documents which were actually signed by Lithuanian princes in his reign.
		The second is the border agreement of 1358 with Mazovia, made by Algirdas' brother Kęstutis, who calls himself dux lythwanorum and mentions the consent of Helgerdi (Algirdas) Suppremi principis lythwanorum and of ducis Jawnutonis, ducis Koryati, ducis Georgij, ceterorumque Seniorum ducum edam lythwanie: Kodeks dymplomatyczny ksiestwa mazowieckiego (Warsaw: Druk.

		Your long journey to Moskva, capital of the Kingdom of Moscovy and its Grand Prince, its Velikii Kniaz, has been long, hard and slow.
