Principality of Peresopnytsia

In the XII-XIII centuries Peresopnitsa was the residence of the specific princes and a fairly well-known city. It, like other cities and principalities of ancient Russia, many times passed from one prince to another, although these constantly feuding princes among themselves were close or distant relatives.

Apparently, from 1147 to 1149, when Peresopnitsa was first mentioned in ancient Russian annals, she was owned by Vyacheslav Vladimirovich, Prince of Turov, son of the Grand Prince of Kiev, Vladimir Vsevolodovich Monomakh. Perhaps before him Peresopnitsa was owned by Prince Vladimir Andreevich, grandson of Vladimir Monomakh, as this prince bequeathed all the lands along the river. Goryni his father, Prince Vladimir Vladimirovich Vladimir Vladimirovich Dobry, died in 1142.

In 1149 in Peresopnitsa many Russian princes of northern and southern Russia gathered to try to peacefully settle another conflict that arose between them. This time, a peace agreement was reached. According to him, Prince Peresopnytsky was Gleb Yuryevich, son of Yuri Dolgoruky. However, the world did not last long, and in the same year Izyaslav Mstislavich, another grandson of Vladimir Monomakh, drove Prince Gleb Yuryevich out of the Peresopnitsa, and Prince Vladimir Galitchiy , great-great-grandson of Yaroslav the Wise , also in the same year gave Peresopnytsia to Prince Mstislav Yuryevich , son of Yuri Dolgoruky.

In the same 1149 Yuri Dolgoruky, once again having captured Kiev, gave Peresopnitsa along with the towns of Turov and Pinsk to his son Prince Andrew Yurievich Bogolyubsky, and the center of his lands was Prince Peresopnitsa. Prince Andrei Bogolyubsky, the grandson of Vladimir Monomakh, was to guard the border of the Kiev principality from the side of Volhynia. However, in the same year Izyaslav Mstislavich captured Peresopnitsa and annexed her to the Kiev principality.

In the 1150-1152 gg. Peresopnitsey owned Prince Vladimir Andreevich (who, perhaps, owned Peresopnitsey until 1147). After the death of Izyaslav Mstislavich in 1154, Yury Dolgoruky again captured Kiev in 1155, and Prince Mstislav Izyaslavich (Prince of Kiev), the son of Izyaslav Mstislavich, the great grandson of Vladimir Monomakh , took over Peresopnytsia. In the same year, Yuri Dolgoruky expelled Mstislav Izyaslavich from Peresopnitsa, after which he gave it to Prince Yaroslav Vladimirovich Galitsky, the son of Prince Vladimir Volodarevich Galitsky, who was mentioned earlier.

In 1157, Yuri Dolgoruky again gave Peresopnitsa to Prince Vladimir Andreevich. In 1156 and in 1162 years. Vladimir Andreyevich tried to beat Prince Mstislav Izyaslavich from Peresopnytsia, who already owned it in 1155. Prince Vladimir Andreevich died in 1169, and in 1171 Prince Mstislav Izyaslavich captured and ruined Peresopnitsa and gave it to the lot of Vladimir Mstislavich, Prince Dorogobuzhsky, brother of Izyaslav Mstislavich and a cousin of Prince Dorogobuzhsky Vladimir Andreevich.

In 1171 Prince Vladimir Mstislavich died. After his death Peresopnitsa passed to his nephew Yaroslav Izyaslavich, Prince Lutsk. After the death of Prince Yaroslav Izyaslavich in 1175, the Lutsk Principality passed to his son Prince Vsevolod Yaroslavich and was divided into two volosts - Dorogobuzhskaya and Peresopnitskaya. In the same year Peresopnitsa passed into the possession of Prince Mstislav Yaroslavich, who was the son of Prince Yaroslav Izyaslavich and great-grandson of Vladimir Monomakh. In 1207, Prince Mstislav Nemoy tried to help the people of Galich, captured by the Hungarians, but his squad was too weak to fight the Hungarians, and he was forced to retreat back to Peresopnitsa. In 1208, Prince Mstislav Nemoy and his team went to Zvenigorod, which was near the city of Lviv, to help his distant relative, Daniil Romanovich, Prince of Galicia-Volyn, descendant of Yaroslav the Wise. In 1209, some Galician boyars fled to Peresopnitsa from Galich, captured by Hungarians. In 1223 the Tatar-Mongolian troops, led by Genghis Khan, approached the ancient Russian princedoms from the east. Many Russian princes protested against them, among them Prince Mstislav Peresopnytsky was also. On the bank of the river. Kalki there was a battle. According to the annals, Prince Mstislav Peresopnytsky, a man of extraordinary strength, fought alongside Daniel Romanovich, prince of Galicia-Volynsky. However, the troops of the Russian princes were defeated and fled. But the Tatar-Mongolian troops farther along the river. The Dnieper did not go west and returned back to its east. In 1225 Prince Mstislav Peresopnitsky died. Before his death, he asked Daniel Romanovich, Prince of Galicia-Volyn,Ivan. However, Prince Ivan Mstislavich died in 1226, and the Principality of Peresopnytsia, together with the cities of Lutsk and Czartoryski, became part of the Galicia-Volyn principality. After that, in 1227, Peresopnitsa was transferred to Daniil Romanovich, prince of Galicia-Volynsky, his elder brother Vasilko.

In 1240, the ancient Tatar princedoms were again approached by the Tatar-Mongols, led by Baty. Peresopnitsa, like many other ancient Russian cities, was plundered and burnt. After the invasion of Batu Khan and the weakening of the Russian principalities, the Lithuanians began to devastate the Russian lands with impunity and in 1246 attacked Peresopnitsa, seized and destroyed it. However, the princes Daniel and Vasilko later drove them away. After 1246 there is no mention of Peresopnitsa in ancient Russian annals. This, most likely, happened because after numerous attacks and ruin Peresopnitsa finally fell into decay and therefore did not attract more attention to the chroniclers. After the death of Prince Halytsky-Volynskii Daniil Romanovich in 1264, who in 1253 received the royal title from the Pope, the Galician-Volyn principality was ruled by his descendants.
