Archbishop Herman, born Grigory Sadyrev-Polev in Staritsa, was an archbishop of Kazan from 1564 to 1567, and later a candidate for the Metropolitan of Moscow.[1] He died on November 6, 1567, in Moscow and was buried in the Church of Saint Nicholas the Hospitable.[2] He was the twelfth Metropolitan in Moscow to be appointed without the approval of the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople as had been the norm.
