Comment
Ivan III (Russian: Иван III Васильевич), known as Ivan the Great, born on January 22, 1440 and died on October 27, 1505, was Grand Prince of Vladimir and Moscow from 1462 to 1505. Son of Vassili II, he married Sophie Paléologue in 1472, who gave him the coat of arms of the Byzantine Empire, the two-headed eagle. He was the father of Vassili III (1479-1533), André (1490-1533) and Youri (1480-1533). His reign was an important one, marking a crucial stage in the unification of the Russian state. It was on the steps of Assumption Cathedral that Ivan III tore up the treaty that had subjected Moscow to the power of the Golden Horde, thus declaring Russia's independence.
