Andrew I (ca. 1111 – 28 June 1174), his Russian name in full, Andrey Yuryevich Bogolyubsky (Russian: Андрей Ю́рьевич Боголюбский, lit. Andrey Yuryevich of Bogolyubovo), also referred to as Andrei I Yuryevich and Andrei the Pious, was Grand prince of Vladimir-Suzdal from 1157 until his death.
Andrey accompanied Yuri I Vladimirovich (Yury Dolgoruky), his father, on a conquest of Kiev, then led the devastation of the same city in 1169, and oversaw the elevation of Vladimir as the new capital of northeastern Rus'[1] (and so the decline of Kievan rule). Andrey has been referred to in the West as the "Scythian Caesar",[according to whom?] He was canonized as a saint in the Russian Orthodox Church in 1702.
