Year 1434: That winter, on February 28, Prince Aleksandr Fedorovich and his entire household left Pskov for Moscow. He had been prince on three different occasions and had lived in Pskov for a total of twelve years. On that same day his son-in-law, Prince Vladimir Danilovich, arrived in Pskov from Lithuania, where he had been living for the previous ten years. Vladimir Danilovich was the prince of Pskov from the end of February 1434 to November 1435, and he was the Pskov vicegerent of Grand Prince Vasily Vasilyevich from April 1436 until ~1438/1439. PBS 2002, p. 95. 3. The grammar is fractured in this passage. The sense was restored by using the text of the account in the Pskov 1st Chronicle (p. 42) In Russian, Danilovich was a patronymic but in Lithuania it became a surname in the 15th century due to the influence of Poland and the Union of Horodło
