Biography
The only son of Prince Fyodor Vasilyevich and Princess Mariya Fyodorovna, the exact date of birth is unknown, probably was born between 1328 and 1331. On the reign of inheritance - Sretensky side of the city of Rostov - entered immediately after the death of his father, in 1331. Being quite an independent prince, he was a faithful ally and servant of the Grand Prince of Moscow, putting both himself and his principality to the full disposal of the latter. In 1347 he married and quietly ruled his inheritance until 1360.
This year his uncle Konstantin Vasilievich, who owned the Borisoglebsky side of Rostov, using the princely troubles that were taking place at that time, procured for himself in the Horde a Jarlig for the entire Principality of Rostov and expelled Prince Andrei from Rostov, who had retired to Pereyaslavl. In 1363, as chronicles mark, between him and Konstantin Vasilievich "there was dislike", as a result of which Prince Andrei, supported by the Grand Prince of Moscow, Dmitri Ivanovich Donskoy, who sent him to the aid of a large Moscow army, Forced his uncle to retire in 1364 from Rostov to Ustyug.
In 1371 he, as the closest friend of Dmitri Ivanovich Donskoy, accompanied the latter to the Horde, and in 1375 took part in his campaign against Tver.

In 1408, when one of the Tatar detachments sent by Khan Edigu to the outskirts of Moscow came to Rostov, Prince Andrei fled with the inhabitants, and the Tatars looted and burned Rostov.
