Abstract

Aim. To study the history of the appearance of Prince Alexander’s sobriquet “Nevsky”, to establish an approximate time and reason for this title, as well as to elucidate any inconsistencies with the date of Alexander Nevsky’s birth. Methodology. The study was based on a comprehensive analysis of chronicle sources as the main type of written documents during the Rus’ period, reflecting direct and indirect information about Russian statesmen, with the involvement of other sources. Results. The obtained results allowed the genesis of Alexander Nevsky’s sobriquets to be traced. An approximate time, place and reasons for the establishment of the sobriquet “Nevsky”, generally accepted by scholars today, were determined. It is concluded that the prince was born in July 1220. Research implications. The findings complement the available information on a number of significant problems in the history of Ancient Rus’ and its notable statesmen in the 13th-16th centuries.
