 Vladimir at AllExperts
Serving its original purpose as a defensive outpost for the Rostov-Suzdal principality, Vladimir had little political or military influence throughout the reign of Vladimir Monomakh (1113–1125), or his son Yury Dolgoruky ("long arms") (1154–1157).
Later it became the center of Vladimir-Suzdal principality, when Monomakh's son Yury Dolgoruky moved the seat of Great Princes of Russia from Kiev to Vladimir, thus actually transferring the capital of the country and beginning the city's Golden Age, which lasted until the Mongol invasion of Russia.
Yury's sons, Andrew the Pious and Vsevolod the Big Nest, confirmed and enforced Vladimir's status as the capital by moving the seat of the Russian metropolitan from Kiev to Vladimir.
