Daniel, Metropolitan Of Moscow
Daniel (; before 1492 – May 22, 1547) was Metropolitan of Moscow and all Rus', the primate of the Russian Orthodox Church, from 1522 to 1539. He was the eighth metropolitan in Moscow to be appointed without the approval of the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople as had been the norm. He represented the belligerent ecclesiastic circle that was interested in alliance with the princely authority. Biography Daniel was a monk at Joseph-Volokolamsk Monastery and a student of Joseph Volotsky. In 1515, he was elected hegumen of the monastery, which had been under the patronage of Vasili III. When Daniel became metropolitan, he assisted Vasili III in summoning the Vasili Shemyachich, the prince of Seversk, to Moscow and imprisoning him. In 1525, bypassing the ecclesiastic canons, Daniel sanctioned the divorce between Vasili III and his childless wife Solomonia Saburova, which caused general discontent in Muscovy.

This article lists the metropolitans and patriarchs of Moscow, spiritual heads of the Russian Orthodox Church. Since 1308, there have been 59.

In 1316 the Metropolitan of Kiev changed his see to the city of Vladimir, and in 1322 moved again to Moscow. In 1589, the see was elevated to a Patriarchate. The Patriarchate was abolished by the Church reform of Peter the Great in 1721 and replaced by the Most Holy Governing Synod, and the Bishop of Moscow came to be called a Metropolitan again. The Patriarchate was restored by the 1917–18 Local Council and suspended by the Soviet government in 1925. It was reintroduced for the last time by the 1943 Bishops' Council, during World War II by the initiative of Soviet leader Joseph Stalin. To this date, 19 of the Metropolitans have been glorified in the Russian Orthodox Church. Metropolitans of Kiev and all ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Nikon Chronicle
The ''Nikon Chronicle'' () is a compilation of Russian chronicles undertaken at the court of Ivan the Terrible in the mid-16th century. The compilation was named after Patriarch Nikon of Moscow, who owned a copy. In the 18th century, it was published under the name ''The Russian Chronicle According to Nikon's Manuscript''. The chronicle covers the years from 859 to 1520, with additional information for 1521–1558, as well as many detailed tales about the most important events, such as ''The Tale of the Battle of the Neva'', ''The Tale of the Battle of the Ice'', ''The Tale of the Invasion of Tokhtamysh'', and ''The Tale of the Death of Mikhail of Tver''.

Defrock
Defrocking, unfrocking, degradation, or laicization of clergy is the removal of their rights to exercise the functions of the ordained ministry. It may be grounded on criminal convictions, disciplinary problems, or disagreements over doctrine or dogma, but may also be done at their request for personal reasons, such as running for civil office, taking over a family business, declining health or old age, desire to marry against the rules for clergy in a particular church, or an unresolved dispute. The form of the procedure varies according to the Christian denomination concerned. The words "defrocking" or "unfrocking" refers to the ritual removal of the frock-like vestments of clergy and ministers. These rituals are generally no longer practiced and were sometimes separate from dismissals from ordained ministry, leading some to contend that modern use of "defrocking" is inaccurate. However, others maintain "defrocking" as a common synonym for laicization, one particularly popular i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Shuisky
The House of Shuysky (Shuisky; ) was a Russian family of boyars and tsars, a cadet branch of the Rurikids. The surname is derived from the town of Shuya, of which the Shuiskys gained ownership in 1403. From 1606 to 1610, Vasili Shuisky ruled as tsar over Russia during the Time of Troubles. Origins The Shuiskys descended from the princely house of Suzdal, whose progenitor was either Andrey II of Vladimir, brother of Alexander Nevsky, or, according to other interpretations, Andrey of Gorodets, Nevsky’s son. Regardless of the interpretation, the Shuiskys shared a common ancestry with the ruling Muscovite line of the Rurikids, which descended from Daniel of Moscow, Alexander Nevsky’s son. Dmitry of Suzdal, Prince of Suzdal and Nizhny Novgorod, died in 1383, leaving behind two sons: Vasiliy, called Kirdyapa, and Symeon. They became the progenitors of two branches of the Shuisky family.
