Dmitry Ivanovich Donskoy, born on this day in 1350, is being remembered as the first prince of Moscow to openly challenge Mongol authority in Russia. The Grand Prince led the resistance that weakened the Golden Horde's dominance, most famously at the Battle of Kulikovo in 1380, and remains a central figure in Russian medieval history.
Why now: The anniversary of his birth in 1350 has prompted history enthusiasts to share his legacy.
