| dc.description | This article focuses on attempts of the Papal Curia to establish contacts with the Prince of Novgorodand subsequently the Grand Prince of Vladimir Alexander Nevsky, as Eastern Europe suffered devastatinginvasion of Mongols and the impending establishment of their domination. At the Councilof Lyon in 1245 the papacy presented the idea of assisting Russian princes against the Mongolianconquerors. However, this plan was tied to a rather fantastical project of a Catholic mission to OrthodoxRussians which would have enabled mending of the East-West Schism. In addition, the Russianprincipalities were to fulfil the role of a defensive barrier intended to prevent another Mongolianinvasion to the West. While Daniil Romanovich, the Prince of Galicia-Volhynia, accepted Pope’soffer, temporarily converted to Catholicism and was subsequently crowned a king, Alexander denieda similar offer of pope Innocent IV to become a Catholic. The author’s aim is to adjust the traditionalimage of Alexander Nevsky as a rigorous defender of Orthodoxy and intransigent enemy ofboth the Catholicism and a church union. Alexander was a rationally thinking and pragmatic politicianand did not decline dealing with Catholics solely for their different religious beliefs. Naturally,the Grand Prince was a proponent of Orthodoxy, cooperated extensively with the Russian OrthodoxChurch and the idea of a church union was inadmissible to him. The reasons for Alexander’sbehaviour did not stem merely from confessional differences but rather had their own political dimensions.The alliance with the Papal Curia was simply of no value to Alexander. Firstly, the assistanceoffered by the Pope never materialized — as Daniil had to painfully experience. Secondly, theGrand Prince could not have foreseen what kind of relation between the emerging Horde and Russianprincipalities would have developed, and therefore decided to pursue the policy of non-resistancetowards the Mongols. | |
