The Principality of Nizhny Novgorod-Suzdal (Russian: Нижегородско-Суздальское княжество), also known as Suzdal-Nizhny Novgorod (also spelt Nizhnii), was a principality formed in 1341. Its main towns were Nizhny Novgorod, Suzdal, Gorokhovets, Gorodets, and Kurmysh. Nizhny Novgorod was the seat of the principality from 1350. The prince Dmitry of Suzdal obtained the yarlik (patent) for the title of Grand Prince of Vladimir from khan Nawruz Beg in 1360.
