Abstract
The article is devoted to the study of points of view on the origin of Prince Alexander Nevsky. The main attention is paid to the personality of the prince’s mother, one of the wives of Prince Yaroslav Vsevolodich. The contradictory data of sources do not make it possible to establish exactly which branch of the princely family the princess belonged to. According to one version, she was the daughter of Prince Mstislav Udatny. The famous Moscow historian V. A. Kuchkin gives interesting arguments in support of this version. However, there are other assumptions. A prominent expert in genealogy N.A. von Baumgarten considered the daughter of Ryazan Prince Igor Vsevolodovich to be Alexander's mother. The representative of the “alternative history” A. N. Nesterenko put forward his own version of the origin of Prince Alexander. An essential part of the work is devoted to a critical analysis of these assumptions. In addition, attention is paid to errors contained in large genealogical codes, for example, in a grandiose work on the genealogy of Prince P. V. Dolgorukov.
