Roman Mikhailovich was the younger of the two sons of
Gleb Vasilkovich. He is only mentioned once in Russian chronicles, in 1339, when Roman went with
Vasily of Yaroslavl to the
Golden Horde to issue a complaint to
Özbeg Khan about
Ivan I of Moscow over his encroachment on their lands. According to the
Novgorod First Chronicle, "at the advice of the grand prince", Vasily Davydovich was sent for at the time when
Aleksandr of Tver was summoned, while the
Trinity Chronicle includes the name of Roman. According to the historian
John L. I. Fennell: "There can be little doubt that both Vasily and Roman were summoned to the khan in order that they might be dealt with at the same time as Aleksandr of Tver'; indeed it would not be unreasonable to assume that they, and perhaps others too, formed an anti-Moscow bloc in support of Aleksandr and
Gedimin". It is unknown what happened to the two princes, but Ivan likely ended the crisis soon afterward as Roman's son
Fyodor was married to Ivan's daughter Feodosia, while Vasily was married to another one of Ivan's daughters. ==Family==
