Duchy Of Podolia
The Duchy of Podolia (, ; ) was a historical polity that emerged from the territory of the former Kingdom of Galicia–Volhynia. The principality was formed in the southwestern lands of the former kingdom during the 14th-century Galicia–Volhynia Wars, a conflict over its succession and territories involving the Kingdom of Poland, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, and the Kingdom of Hungary.

He aimed to secure and expand southern territories of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, particularly the Principality of Kiev. Kiev had already come under semi-Lithuanian control after the Battle on the Irpin River in early 1320s, but still paid tribute to the Horde. Battle In 1362 or 1363, Algirdas marched ...
