Boleslaw-Yuri II of Galicia

Boleslaw-Yuri II, Prince of Galicia (Polish "Bolesław Jerzy II Mazowiecki", also known as Yuri II of Galicia and Bolesław Trojdenowicz, 1308 – April 7 1340) was a ruler of the Piast dynasty who reigned the originally Ruthenian principality of Galicia (Central Europe).

Boleslaw was born in 1308 to Trojden I of Masovia from Piast dynasty, Duke of Czersk (Masovia) and Maria, daughter of Yuri I, prince of Galicia. Since his father was still a ruler of the family's Masovian lands, in 1323 Boleslaus, renamed Yuri, became Prince of Galicia. In 1331 he married Eufemija, daughter of Grand Duke of Lithuania Gediminas and sister of Aldona of Lithuania, wife of Casimir III of Poland. In a treaty of 1338 Boleslaw-Yuri offered Casimir III of Poland succession to the throne of Galicia-Volhynia. Duke Boleslaw, he was supported by the many German townspeople already living there. In 1324 Boleslaw founded new towns Volodymyr-Volynskyi on Magdeburg law, and Sanok in 1339.
