Dmytro Dedko
Dmytro Dedko (''Demetrius Dedko'', uk, Дмитро Дедько) was a Lord of Ruthenia in 1340 (1323) – 1349. Commonly thought to be a Galician boyar, he could be one of sons of Yuriy I and Varvara (Barbara). Dmytro is possibly the progenitor of Ostrozky family. Dmytro is mentioned in number of scientific works on history of that period such as "History of Ukraine-Ruthenia" by Mykhailo Hrushevsky, "Die polnische Geschichtschreibung des Mittelalters" by Heinrich Ritter von Zeissberg and others. The Russian historian Alexander Presnyakov argues Hrushevsky's claims that Dmytro was representative of Liubart in Galicia, rather in his declarations Dmytro states that Galician princes are his ancestors. Presnyakov, A. Lithuanian-Russian State in 13th-16th centuries'. Among the most solid historical benchmarks signed by Dmytro in 1341 is a document "Letter to residents of Torun" that survived to our days where he calls to revive economical and social relationships between the ...

Danylo Ostrozky
Danylo (Andriy) Ostrozky ( ua, Данило Острозький, pl, Daniel Ostrogski, died after 1366) was a Lithuanian nobleman, probably Prince of Turaŭ, first Prince of Ostroh, and founder of the Ostrozky House. Biography It is not clear whether he was descendant of Pinsk–Turaŭ or Kingdom of Galicia–Volhynia branch of the Rurik dynasty. Some scholars claim that his grandfather was Vasylko Romanovych, Prince of Slonim and direct descendant of Roman of Galicia, others however claim his origin in line of Sviatopolk II of Kyiv and suppose that his father was Danylo. Kasper Niesiecki, an 18th-century writer, reported that "''Danylo Vasyliovych, son of Danylo of Galicia`s brother, first started to call himself Prince of Ostroh''". He could be also direct grandson of Danylo of Galicia and son of Mstyslav Danylovych. Adam Naruszewicz wrote that Danylo Ostrozky was starost of Przemyśl, officer of Casimir III the Great when he inherited Galicia after the death of Bole ...

Monomakhovichi Family
Monomakhovichi or House of Monomakh was a major princely branch of the Rurik dynasty, descendants of which managed to inherit practically all princely titles in the Grand Duchy of Kiev. The progenitor of the house is Vladimir II Monomakh (son of Vsevolod). The name derived from the grandfather of Vladimir, Constantine IX Monomachos. Due to its dominance and conflicts within itself, the branch was subdivided into three major factions: the sons of Mstislav I of Kiev, Izyaslavichi and Rostislavichi; and the sons of Yuri Dolgorukiy, Yurievichi. The split occurred in the 12th century. By that time, Rus has already lost its control over the Duchy of Polotsk and the Duchy of Halych which were self-governed by other Rurik-branched dynasties. The Monomakhovichi were in conflict also with other branches of the Rurik Dynasty such as the Olgovichi, Rostialvichi (Galicia) and Polotsk line. Main branches * Mstislavichi ( Mstislav I of Kiev) **Shakhovskoy (Dmitry Shakhovskoy) * Volhynia (I ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Princes Of Halych
A prince is a male ruler (ranked below a king, grand prince, and grand duke) or a male member of a monarch's or former monarch's family.

Year Of Birth Unknown
A year or annus is the orbital period of a planetary body, for example, the Earth, moving in its orbit around the Sun. Due to the Earth's axial tilt, the course of a year sees the passing of the seasons, marked by change in weather, the hours of daylight, and, consequently, vegetation and soil fertility. In temperate and subpolar climate, subpolar regions around the planet, four seasons are generally recognized: spring (season), spring, summer, autumn and winter. In tropics, tropical and subtropics, subtropical regions, several geographical sectors do not present defined seasons; but in the tropics#Seasons and climate, seasonal tropics, the annual wet season, wet and dry seasons are recognized and tracked. A calendar year is an approximation of the number of days of the Earth's orbital period, as counted in a given calendar.
