Principality of Pereyaslavl
- Principality of Pereyaslavl
The Principality of Pereyaslavl was a Rus lordship based on the city of Pereyaslavl (now "Pereiaslav-Khmelnytskyi") on the Trubezh river [Martin, "Medieval Russia", p. 4.] and straddling extensive territory to the east in what are now parts of the Ukraine, on the southern frontier of Rus'ian civilization with the steppe.__NOTOC__The "Primary Chronicle" dates the foundation of the city of Pereyaslavl' to 992; the archaeological evidence suggests it was founded not long after this date. [Franklin & Shepard, "Emergence", p. 107.] In its early days it was the third city in seniority in Kievan Rus behind the Principality of Chernigov and that of Kiev. The city was located at a ford where Vladimir the Great fought a battle against the nomad Pechenegs. [Franklin & Shepard, "Emergence", p. 173.]
The principality can be traced as a semi-independent dominion from the inheritance of the sons of Yaroslav the Wise, Svyatoslav receiving Chernigov, Vsevolod getting Pereyaslavl, Smolensk going to Vyacheslav and Vladimir-in-Volhynia going to Igor; this ladder of succession. [Martin, "Medieval Russia", p. 26.] Vsevolod's appanage included the northern lands of Rostov and the lighly colonised north-eastern zone of Rus'. [See [http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/RUSSIA,%20Rurik.htm#_Toc111997307 here] .]
The "Primary Chronicle" had recorded that in 988 Vladimir had assigned the northern lands (later associated with Pereyaslavl) to Yaroslav. [Martin, "Medieval Russia", p. 38.] The town was destroyed by the Mongols in March 1239, the first of the great Rus' cities to all. [Martin, "Medieval Russia", p. 139.]
