Vsevolod's Christian name was Dmitry and so he dedicated his palace church to Saint Demetrius, his patron saint.

Vsevolod III Yuryevich, or Vsevolod the Big Nest (Russian: Все́волод III Ю́рьевич Большо́е Гнездо́, romanized: Vsévolod III Yúr'yevich Bol'shóye Gnezdó; 1154–1212), was Grand Prince of Vladimir from 1176 to 1212. During his long reign, the city reached the zenith of its glory.[citation needed]
