Andrey Bogolyubsky (died 28 June 1174) was Prince of Vladimir-Suzdal from 1157 until his death. He moved his power base to the town of Vladimir, consolidated his father's lands under his sole rule and sought to dominate Kievan Rus'. His troops sacked Kiev in 1169, after which he claimed the title of Grand Prince while keeping his residence at Vladimir. He was later canonized as a saint in the Russian Orthodox Church in 1702.
