He was detained in the Mogol court in captivity, though treated with much consideration, for a year.

He then returned home, so crushed in health and spirits, that he died on the 14th of November, 1263.

The prince was buried at Vladimir, and was borne to the grave surrounded by the tears and lamentations of his subjects.

He seems to have died the death of the righteous, breathing most fervent prayers of penitence and of love.

In the distressing situation in which his country was placed, he could do nothing but seek to alleviate its woe; and to this object he devoted all the energies of his life.
