Prince of Pereyaslavl

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The Prince of Pereyaslavl was the ruler of the

Trubezh River,[1] and straddling extensive territory to the east in what are now parts of Ukraine. It was situated on the southern frontier of Kievan Rus' and bordered the steppe
.

History

The principality emerges was apportioned as the inheritance of

Vladimir-in-Volhynia to Igor; this ladder of succession is related to the seniority order mentioned above.[2] Vsevolod's appanage included the northern lands of Rostov and the lightly colonised northeast (see Vladimir-Suzdal
).

The Primary Chronicle recorded that in 988, Vladimir had assigned the northern lands (later associated with Pereyaslavl) to Yaroslav.

Rostov-Suzdal, which was heavily colonized by Slavs thereafter, a process which strengthened the region's power and independence, separating the two regions.[5]

In 1132, Yaropolk became Grand Prince on his brother Mstislav's death, while the Monomashichi descended into general internecine conflict over the Pereyaslavl principality. Yaropolk appointed Vsevolod Mstislavich,

Yuri Dolgoruki, controller of Suzdal, into war. Yuri drove out Vsevolod, whom Yaropolk then replaced with Izyaslav. An agreement was reached by 1134 between Yuri and Yaropolk that their common brother Vyacheslav would take the throne of Pereyaslavl.[7]
