Alexander Nevsky (30 May 1220 – 14 November 1263) was a Russian Prince, and later a Saint of the Russian Orthodox Church. Nevsky was a deft military tactician and an emphatic leader who rose to legendary status on account of his military victories over the German and Swedish invaders. He became Grand Prince of Vladimir in 1252 and chose to pay tribute to the powerful Golden Horde, this alliance keeping the medieval Russia from being a Mongolian target.
While Nevsky was never identified as a Templar, his somewhat improbable alliance with the Khans implies such an association. It was on his way back from visiting the Golden Horde that Nevsky fell mysteriously ill and passed away.
