David Fyodorovich was a holy prince of Yaroslavl. The son of Fyodor Rostislavich the Black, he is known only from a single chronicle entry recording the year of his death, 1321. His holy relics, along with those of his father and his brother Konstantin, were discovered during the reign of the last ruling prince of Yaroslavl, Alexander Fyodorovich Bryukhaty, and were interred in the Spassky Monastery in Yaroslavl. David Fyodorovich had two sons, between whom he divided his appanage: Vasily, Prince of Yaroslavl, nicknamed the Terrible, and Mikhail, Prince of Mologa, whose descendants founded the princely houses of the Sitsky, Mologsky, Prozorovsky, Shumorovsky, Ushaty, and Dulov families.
