Suggest to rename to the Church of Intercession upon Nerl and rephrase a bit:

Whereas St Demetrius Cathedral has been compared to a warrior, the Intercession Church has been likened to a weeping mother.

The Church of the Intercession on the Nerl is a Russian Orthodox church situated at the confluence of the Nerl and the Klyazma in Bogolyubovo, Vladimir Oblast. It was commissioned by Andrey Bogolyubsky, a 12th-century Russian grand prince, and has been little altered since. The building is constructed in white stone, and has one dome and four columns in the interior. Its proportions are elongated on purpose to make its outline seem slenderer, although this architectural solution restricts its use in holding services. In 1992, the church was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List as part of the White Monuments of Vladimir and Suzdal. Photograph credit: Alexander Savin

I can parse this sentence two ways:
The second parse would be correct if Izyaslav has revolted against his father and allied himself with the Bulgars, as sometimes happened in royal families.
If the first parse is intended, I suggest a slight rewording:
...it was built to commemorate both Andrei's victory over the Bulgars, and also his son Izyaslav, who was slain in the battle...
