Radziwiłł Chronicle
The ''Radziwiłł Chronicle'', also known as the ''Königsberg Chronicle'', is a collection of illuminated manuscripts from the 15th-century; it is believed to be a copy of a 13th-century original. Its name is derived from the Radziwiłł family of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (later, the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth), who kept it in their Nesvizh Castle in the 17th and 18th centuries. The Radziwiłł manuscript was taken out of Königsberg in 1761 and acquired by the Library of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Saint Petersburg, where it is currently preserved with registration number "34.5.30". The work tells the history of Kievan Rus' and its neighbors from the fifth to the early 13th centuries in pictorial form, representing events described in the manuscript with more than 600 colour illustrations. Among East Slavic chronicles, the ''Radziwiłł'' is distinguished for the richness and quantity of its illustrations, which may derive from the 13th-century original. Conte ...

Chronicler Of Pereyaslavl-Suzdal
The ''Chronicler of Pereyaslavl-Suzdal'' (, abbreviated "LPS") is a short Rus' chronicle. Two late-15th-century manuscripts of it have been preserved, which seem to indicate a close textual relationship with the 13th-century ''Suzdalian Chronicle'' (or "Vladimir Chronicle") after 1157; before 1157, its contents are derivative of the ''Kievan Chronicle''. Textual witnesses * ''Archival long manuscript'': In the long manuscript, the text calls itself ''Chronicler of Rus' Tsars'' . It was Imperial Russian historian and archivist Mikhail Andreyevich Obolensky (1806—1873) who gave it its name ''Chronicler of Pereyaslavl-Suzdal'', thereby referring to Pereslavl-Zalessky in the present-day Russian Federation, as opposed to Pereiaslav (earlier known as ''Pereyaslavl-Yuzhnyy'' or ''Pereiaslav-Ruskyi'') in present-day Ukraine. The historian found this chronicle in compilation form as part of the late-15th-century Archival collection, found by him in the files of the Ministry of Foreign A ...

Radziwiłł Family
The House of Radziwiłł (; ; ; ) is a Polish princely family of Lithuanian origin, and one of the most powerful magnate families originating from the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and later also prominent in the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland. Part of the representatives of the Radziwiłł family were known for their persistent and consistent struggle for the independence of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and for their crucial role in preserving the Grand Duchy of Lithuania as a separate state in the 16th and 17th centuries. The family was founded by Radvila Astikas, but over time it split into many branches, such as the Biržai-Dubingiai and Goniądz-Meteliai lines. However, most of the branches became extinct by the 18th century, with only the Nesvizh-Kleck-Ołyka line surviving to this day. Their descendants were highly prominent for centuries, first in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, later in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Kingdom of Prussia. The family produced man ...
