The Rylsky princedom is a specific princedom that existed from the middle of the XII century to 1523 in the territory of Posemye during the feudal fragmentation in Russia . The center of the principality was the city of Rylsk .
History
Rylsk was first mentioned in chronicles in 1152 . Some historians attribute the emergence of the princely table to the 1160s . The Rylsky principality was one of the destinies of the Novgorod-Seversky principality . The first Rylsky prince Svyatoslav Olgovich is mentioned in the annals as a participant in campaigns against the Polovtsy 1183 and 1185 . The campaign of 1185 described in the " Word on Igor's Regiment " was unsuccessful, the army of Novgorod-Seversky Prince Igor Svyatoslavich was defeated, many princes, including Svyatoslav Olgovich, were captured. The further fate of the Rylsky prince is unclear. According to some assumptions, he returned from captivity to Russia and since 1196 was a Kursk prince .
Of the other princes who reigned in Rylsk before the Mongol invasion , nothing is known. According to some reports, in 1240 the city of Rylsk was devastated by the Tatars, according to other sources, it resisted. The annals contain information about the two Rylsky princes killed by the Tatars in the 1240s .
At the end of the 13th century , Prince Rylsky and Vorgolsky ruled in Rylsk, speaking with Prince Svyatoslav of Lipovich against Baskak Akhmat. A year later, the Nogai horde ravaged and plundered the possessions of these princes. This was followed by a princely feud, during which both princes were killed. The Lavrentievsky Chronicle relates these events to the years 1283 - 1285 , but most modern historians displace these events to the late 1280s - early 1290s . At the beginning of the XIV century, Posemye was part of the Principality of Kiev under the control of the Putivl Olgovichi.
In the 60s of the XIV century, the territory of Posemye became part of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania . The existence of the Principality of Rylsk on the territory of Lithuania is evidenced by the fact that in the late 1390s the chronicles mention the Rylsk prince Fedor Patrikeevich , who died in the battle with the Tatars in Vorskla .
In 1454 , after the death of Dmitry Yuryevich Shemyaki , his son Ivan Dmitriyevich Shemyakin left for Pskov to Lithuania, and King Casimir IV gave him Rylsk and Novgorod-Seversky “to feed” him. The son of Prince Ivan Dmitrievich, Vasily Ivanovich Shemyachich , in 1500 turned to the Grand Duke of Moscow Ivan III with a request to take him to his "service and with the estates." Thus, the Principality of Rila became part of the Grand Duchy of Moscow .
In 1523, Vasily Shemyachich was arrested, and his principality liquidated. Thus, the Rylsky lot ceased to exist, in the future it is known as the Rylsky district . For the most part, governors ruled in Rylsk Uyezd, who were sent here by the king "for feeding."
