Andrey Ivanovich (Russian: Андрей Иванович; 5 August 1490 – 11 December 1537)[1] was the youngest son of Ivan III of Russia by his second wife Sophia Palaiologina.

This did not come to pass until 1530, but it was only two years later, when Vasily's second son was born, that Andrey was finally allowed to find himself a wife.

After 40 days of mourning, Andrey applied to his widow Elena Glinskaya for extension of his demesnes.

It is only natural that he declined Elena's emphatic invitations to visit Moscow and lived in Staritsa in seclusion for three following years.

Upon hearing the news, Elena closed the Lithuanian border and dispatched her minion, Prince Obolensky, to seize him.
