F.B. Ouspensky writes: “Perhaps, a kind of boundary, after which the prince acquired the“ first degree ”of patrimonial capacity, was tonsured and, apparently, the horse-riding ritual that was often combined with them in dynastic life. It is no accident that this event, like weddings and princely name days, was often accompanied by a large congress of princes relatives. Apparently, the exact age at which the prince went through these procedures was not determined strictly. Judging by the cases known to us, the princes could pass it at the age of two to four years, and much here was determined by family circumstances. So, two siblings of Konstantinovich, Vasilko and Vsevolod, grandchildren of Vsevolod the Big Nest, go through this rite at the same time, despite the difference in age of about two years ” [2] .
