In 1225 and 1229 he was documented as the prince of Novgorod. In 1235 he conspired with Bela IV of Hungary and took Halych from his brother-in-law Daniel.

The Mongols, however, viewed him with suspicion. In order to gain their license for Chernigov, Mikhail went to the court of Batu Khan in 1241.

After the Russian Orthodox Church declared him saint, his relics were taken from Chernigov and placed in the Archangel Cathedral of Moscow Kremlin.

Progeny

Numerous Russian princely family, such as Dolgorukov, Volkonsky, Repnin, and Gorchakov, claimed descent from Mikhail of Chernigov. While there is nothing improbable in such a descendance, Mikhail's only documented son was Rostislav (1225-61). Following his father's death, he lived at the court of his father-in-law, Bela IV. He served as the Hungarian governor (ban) of Slavonia and Machva. Shortly before his death Rostislav moved to Bulgaria, where he proclaimed himself tsar. Prince Vasily Lukich Dolgorukov Prince Vasiliy Lukich Dolgorukov (Василий Лукич Долгоруков in Russian) (1672 - November 8, 1739) was a Russian diplomat and minister who was the most powerful man in the country in the later years of Peter IIs reign. ...
