Mikhail Alexandrovich was the third son of Aleksandr Mikhailovich of Tver. Mikhail grew up in Pskov, where his father had fled after the Tver Uprising of 1327. He was christened by the Archbishop of Novgorod, Vasily Kalika, in 1333. [1] Five years later, he and his mother were called to Tver when Aleksandr returned to the city.
The reign of Mikhail is usually considered as the last period when Tver still could rival Moscow and oppose the Golden Horde.
