Dear Carolyn,

Ivan I is the direct descendant of Alexander Nevsky who defeated Swedes
in 1240 and Teutonic knights in 1242. Nevsky is the direct descendant of
St. Vladimir, and Rurik.

Ivan I -> Ivan II the Meek (2nd son) -> Dimitry Donskoy ->Basil I ->
Basil II -> Ivan III.

Hope this helps.
Gary.
