Principality Of Odoyev
The Principality of Odoyev was one of the Upper Oka Principalities from the 1376 to the 1573. The town of Odoyev was the centre of the principality. History The Principality's history was closely linked with its place between the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Moscow and the Golden Horde. Prince of Novosil Roman Semyonovich took part with Prince of Moscow Dmitry Donskoy in the campaign of Tver in 1375. In December, the Horde wiped out most of Novosil and the principality's land. The Odoyevsky Principality arose in the next year when Roman Semyonovich settled in Odoyev or possibly after his death in about 1402. Princes of Odoyev called themselves ''princes of Novosil'', and sometimes ''princes of Novosil and Odoyev'' up to the late 1400 and began name themselves only ''princes of Odoyev'' by the mid-1500s. The House of Odoyev died out in the 19th Century. In 1407, Lithuanians burned down Odoyev.Серова Л. Невелик городок Одоев//Наука и жизнь. � ...

Upper Oka Principalities
In Russian historiography the term Upper Oka Principalities () traditionally applies to about a dozen tiny and ephemeral polities situated along the upper course of the Oka River at the turn of the 14th and 15th centuries. They were reigned by the "upper princes", each of which descended from Mikhail Vsevolodovich of Chernigov (Grand Prince of Kiev c. 1236–1243). the areas of these former polities lie within the present-day territories of various federal subjects of Russia: the Tula Oblast, the Kaluga Oblast, the Oryol Oblast and the Bryansk Oblast. Following the Mongol invasion of Kievan Rus' of 1223–1240, the formerly prominent Olgovichi clan of the Principality of Chernigov gradually declined to a point where the descendants of Mikhail of Chernigov (died 1246) ruled dozens of quasi-sovereign entities. After 1350, as the principalities became wedged-in as buffer states between the ever-expanding Grand Duchy of Lithuania (established in 1236) to the west and the nascen ...
