Mikhail Glebovich (Russian: Михаил Глебович; 1263–1293) was Prince of Beloozero from 1278 to 1279 and again from 1283 until his death in 1293.[1] He was the second son of Gleb Vasilkovich.[1]

Reign

Mikhail Glebovich was born in 1263.[1][2] He was the second son of Gleb Vasilkovich.[1][2]

In 1277, together with his father and other Russian princes, he took part in the Mongol campaign against the Alans.[1] He also assisted the Mongols in crushing an uprising in Bulgaria.[3] Following his father's death in 1278, he received Beloozero;[4] however, it was seized by Dmitry Borisovich the following year.[1] In 1286, the principality was returned to him.[1] In 1290, Mikhail joined Andrey Aleksandrovich's campaign against the latter's brother Dmitry for the throne of the Grand Principality of Vladimir.[1] He accompanied the other princes during a visit to the Golden Horde in 1293 but died there.[1]
