Notes
- ^ Also spelt Tver',[1] (Russian: Тверь, romanized: Tver', Church Slavonic: Тферь, romanized: Tfer'). English adjective and demonym: Tverian[2] or Tverite.[3] In primary sources such as the Tver Chronicle and the Word of Praise for the Grand Prince Boris Aleksandrovich, it is also referred to as the "Grand Principality of Tver'" (Church Slavonic: великое княжение Тферское, romanized: velikoye kniazhenie Tferskoye) or the "Tverian Land" (Church Slavonic: Тферская земля, romanized: Tferskaia zemlia), which was supposedly an equal part of the larger "Rus' Land" (Church Slavonic: русская земля, romanized: russkaia zemlia), alongside the "Muscovite Land" (Church Slavonic: московская земля, romanized: moskovskaia zemlia) and other grand principalities in northeastern Rus'.[4]
- ^ The title 'Grand Prince of Vladimir' was mostly titular by the early 14th century.
