In 1246, another son of Yaroslav, Yaroslav of Tver, became the prince of Tver, and the principality was ruled by his descendants until 1485, when it was abolished.

The growth of the city is due primarily to the fact that political role of Tver has changed. In 1264 prince Yaroslav became the Grand Duke of Vladimir, but remained in Tver. For the first time in Russia, after 50 years of recess, the annals and stone construction resumed in Tver under Yaroslav’s successor, Prince Michael Yaroslavich.
The Prince of Tver (Russian: Князь тверской) was the title of the ruler of the Principality of Tver. The princes of Tver descended from the first prince, Yaroslav Yaroslavich (r. 1247–1271). In 1485, Tver was formally annexed by Moscow and became an appanage.

Thus, Alexander’s brother Yaroslav (grand prince of Vladimir, 1264–71) founded the house of Tver, and Alexander’s son Daniel founded the house of Moscow. After the Mongol invasion (1240) the Russian princes were obliged to seek a patent from the Mongol khan in order to rule as grand prince.
