Principality of Logozhsk

The Pringipality of Logozhsk (Logoysk) is an apanage West-Russian principality with the center in the town of Logozhsk (Logoisk).

The territory of Logozhsk was singled out from the Principality of Izyaslavl in the second half of the 12th century [1]. The exact boundaries of the principality of the 12th century are not established.

According to the Ipatiev Chronicle, in 1180 Vseslav Mikulich, an ally of the Princes of Izyaslavl and the Princes of Polotsk and Vitebsk, reigned in Logozhsk. In 1186, according to the Laurentian Chronicle, Vasilko Volodarevich reigned in Logoisk, evidently from the clan of the Princes of Minsky, who, together with the Princes of Novgorod, Smolensk and Druchans, were opposed to the Principality of Polotsk.

Later the Principality of Logozhsk was ruled by Gediminovichi, including Skirgailo, Vitovt and Andrei Vladimirovich. At this time, the principality consisted of three volosts - Logozhsk, Gainskaya and Horetskaya.
