Overview[]
Ruthenia[]
The Principality or, from 1253, Kingdom of Galicia–Volhynia, historically known as the Kingdom of Ruthenia, was a medieval state in Eastern Europe which existed from 1199 to 1349. Its territory was predominantly located in modern-day Ukraine, with parts in Belarus, Poland, Moldova, and Lithuania. Along with Novgorod and Vladimir-Suzdal, it was one of the three most important powers to emerge from the collapse of Kievan Rus'. The main language was Old East Slavic, the predecessor of the modern East Slavic languages, and the official religion was Eastern Orthodoxy.
Danylo I[]
Daniel of Galicia or Danylo Romanovych was a King of Ruthenia, Prince of Galicia, Peremyshl, and Volodymyr. He was crowned by a papal archbishop in Dorohochyn in 1253 as the first King of Ruthenia. By his death in 1264, Daniel had reconstructed and expanded the territories held by his father, held off the expansionist threats of Poland and Hungary, minimized Mongol influence on Western Ukraine, and raised the economic and social standards of his domains.
Dawn of Man[]
Welcome, Danylo I Romanovych, Prince of Galicia-Volhynia and first true King of Ruthenia! After the death of your father, Roman the Great, the boyars of your lands revolted and proclaimed one of their own as Prince, forcing you and your brother into exile. After the Poles and Hungarians divided the territories between themselves, you returned at the age of 20 to reassert your rule over Volhynia. Over the next twenty years you conquered and restored your claim to Galicia, uniting the territories just before the arrival of the Mongols in 1239. The remainder of your rule would be a delicate diplomatic balancing act, as you sought to deepen ties with Christian kingdoms to the west while formally a subject of the Golden Horde.
