Principality of Shumsk

The Principality of Shumsk is one of the Russian principalities that existed in the XII-XIII centuries, the inheritance of the Volyn principality. The center of the lot was the city of Shumsk (now the city of regional importance in the Ternopil Oblast of Ukraine).

History
The principality of Shumsk was first mentioned in 1152 among the possessions of the Prince of Luutsk Yaroslav Izyaslavich. Under the contract with his brother, Mstislav Izyaslavich, Yaroslav Igorevich was assigned the eastern part of Volhynia, including Shumsk. In 1211 Shumsk, together with a number of other Volyn towns, was governed by Lutsk Prince Ingvar Yaroslavich [1] [2] [3].

After the death of Ingvar Yaroslavich, the Principality of Shumsk was ruled by his son or grandson Svyatoslav, who died in the Battle of the Kalka River on May 31, 1223 [3] , after which the references to the princes of Shumsk disappear.
