Right-Believing (Russian: Благоверный, Greek: εὐσεβής, Latin: pius), also called under the prefix The most Orthodox,[1] is an Orthodox saint title for monarchs who were canonized for a righteous life. They do not belong to martyrs or passion bearers. The saint title was initially given to Byzantine Emperors and their wives by the Constantinople Orthodox Church in the period of Ecumenical Councils, but other local Orthodox churches took that tradition, including the Russian Orthodox Church. Russian Right-Believing princes include Yaroslav the Wise, Alexander Nevsky, Andrey Bogolyubsky and Dmitry Donskoy.
