Andrei of Gorodets (Andrei Alexandrovich) was a son of Alexander Nevsky and grand prince of Vladimir in the early 1280s and from 1294 to 1304. His long feud with his elder brother Dmitry of Pereslavl, each backed by a rival Mongol power, brought repeated Horde armies into north-eastern Rus', most destructively in Dudenev's raid of 1293.
