metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The study focuses on two subjects: the personal composition of the retinue of Grand Princess
  Maria Yaroslavna, the wife of Vasily the Dark, and her landowners. For the first time in historiography,
  the compositions of the Boyar Duma, of the palace administration, of the office
  (clerks), of the servants of various official ranks have been reconstructed on the basis of all
  known sources, among which acts and genealogy books should be singled out. The author
  has managed to collect and analyze information about more than 30 persons who at different
  times comprised the Princess’s Court. The most controversial issues relate to the time of the
  service of some boyars, clerks, identification of their social status, individual signs for certifying
  documents (clerical monograms). The paper examines the domain of the Princess, stages
  of its development, the composition and location of the land, their ownership. It is concluded
  that Vasily II assigned Maria Yaroslavna the role of the ultimate arbitrator in relations between
  children. A personal retinue, sovereign rights in her principality had to strengthen the
  position of the Grand Princess as a liaison between the eldest son, Grand Prince Ivan Vasilyevich,
  and his brothers. The retinue of the Grand Princess was characterized by mobility and
  a certain openness. It was closely connected with the retinues of the sons of Maria Yaroslavna
  — Andrei Menshoi, Andrei Bolshoi and Ivan III. Probably, one of the principles of Maria
  Yaroslavna’s activity in maintaining balance, cohesion and unity in the princely family lay in
  the openness of her retinue.
