Backed by him, some of Rus ' princes, such as Dmitry of Pereslavl, refused to come to the court of the Khan in Sarai while Dmitry's brother Andrey of Gorodets sought assistance from Töde Möngke.

Following Yury's machinations, which prompted the Khan to grant the yarlik ( patent of office for the title of Grand Prince of Vladimir ) to Moscow and led to their father's execution by the Horde, Dmitry and his brother, Alexander, fought a series of battles with Yury and intrigued against him at the Horde, culminating in Dmitry's acquisition of the yarlik of office for the grand princely throne in 1322, after he had persuaded the khan that Yury had appropriated a large portion of the tribute due to the Horde.

When the Khan's cousin, the Baskaki Shevkal, and his Tatars were killed in Tver and a rebellion erupted there in mid-August 1327, Dmitry's successor as Prince of Tver and Grand Prince of Vladimir-Suzdal, his brother Alexander Mikhailovich, fled first to Novgorod --- which turned him away --- and then to Pskov --- which made him it's Prince --- in order to escape a punitive expedition of 50, 000 Mongol-Tatars & Muscovites, which was headed by his cousin, Yury's brother & successor Ivan Daniilovich.

After the death of Ivan IV, Dmitry's older brother, Feodor I, ascended to power.

The death of the Tsarevich roused a violent riot in Uglich, instigated by the loud claims of Dmitry's mother Maria Nagaya and her brother Mikhail that Dmitry was murdered.

While Dmitry was preoccupied with pacifying Novgorod, Andrey of Gorodets ( Dmitry's younger brother ) went to the Golden Horde and received from the khan permission to replace Dmitry as the Grand Prince.

In the event of Vasily having no surviving son at his death, his brother, Dmitry's second son, Yury of Zvenigorod, was to succeed as grand prince in Moscow.

Simultaneous with Dmitry's action, Mikhail Yaroslavich was summoned to appear before Nogai who was called Khan at the time instead of the legitimate Khan, Toqta, in Sarai, and Daniel of Moscow declined to come to Sarai.

It is interesting to note that Dmitry's mother came from the Beklemishev family, just like the mother of Mikhail Kutuzov, who would be credited with saving Russia precisely two centuries after him.

The most important event during the early years of Dmitry's reign was construction of the first stone Moscow Kremlin, completed in 1367.

Dmitry's thirty-year reign saw the beginning of the end for Mongol domination of parts of what is now Russia.

In 1378 Mamai sent a Mongol army, but it was defeated by Dmitry's forces in the Battle of Vozha River.

That khan reasserted Mongol rule over parts of what now is Russia and overran Moscow for Dmitry's resistance to Mamai.

Exasperated by Dmitry's influence, Prince Ivan Kalita of the Grand Duchy of Moscow engineered his murder by the Mongols in 1326.

In Belarus, Dziady ( Дзяды ) were usually held on the last Saturday before St. Dmitry's day, end of October / beginning of November ( Dźmitreuskija dziady, St. Dmitry's Dziady ).

This would make any claim of Dmitry's for the throne dubious at best.

There is also a third version of Dmitry's fate, which found support with some earlier historians, such as Konstantin Bestuzhev-Ryumin, Ivan Belyaev and others.

Most modern Russian historians, however, consider the version of Dmitry's survival improbable, since it is hardly possible that the boy's appearance was unknown to his assassins.

Hearing this, enraged citizens lynched fifteen of Dmitry's supposed " assassins ", including the local representative of the Moscow government ( dyak ) and one of Dmitry's playmates.

On 3 June 1606, Dmitry's remains were transferred from Uglich to Moscow and his cult soon developed.

In the 20th century, the majority of Russian and Soviet historians have given more credit to the conclusions of the first official investigation report under Shuisky, which ruled Dmitry's death to be an accident.

Although they made peace the same year, Vladimir was forced to leave Serpukhov for Torzhok following Dmitry's death and enthronment of his son Vasily I.

Dmitry's son Michał Trubetsky is considered to be the ancestor of the Trubetskoy family.
