History
The first mention of the city of Kozelsk in the Chernigov principality refers to 1146.
The specific principality of Kozelskoye began in 1201, when Mstislav Svyatoslavich became the first prince of Kozel. In 1216/1219, after the death of his elder brother, Gleb Svyatoslavovich, Mstislav became the Grand Duke of Chernigov, and left his son Dmitry in Kozelsk. Dmitry Mstislavich died with his father during a battle on the Kalka River (1223). Kozelsk probably goes to his brother Ivan, since in 1238 we see in Kozelsk a prince of a son, Ivan, Vasily. Ivan Mstislavich is known only by reference to Seversky synodic [1] .
Vasily Ivanovich during the Mongol invasion was very small. Despite this, the prince's squad refused to surrender the city to the Tatars. Residents of Kozelsk courageously defended the city for seven weeks. Only after the reinforcements arrived, did the Tatars manage to break through the city walls and capture Kozelsk. By order of Khan, all the surviving residents of the city, including women and children, were killed, and the city was razed to the ground. Kozelsk was called Batu "Evil City". The fate of Prince Vasily remained unknown. Here is what the chronicler reported about him: "And there was no one to know about their prince Vasily, some verb, as if they drowned in blood, understand that he was killed" [2] .
A few years later Kozelsk was revived on ashes. As a result of the collapse of the Chernigov principality in 1246, Kozelsk became part of the isolated Karachev principality , headed by Mstislav Mikhailovich . With his son Tita Kozelsk became an independent destiny.
In 1371 Kozelsk adopted the vassalage of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania . In 1408, the city was acquired by the Moscow Prince Vasily I Dmitrievich and gave it to the Serpukhov Prince Vladimir Hrabrom, taking in exchange Volokolamsk and Rzhev. However, in 1445, the Lithuanians again captured Kozelsky and annexed it to their possessions. In 1448, Casimir gave him the governorship of Prince Vorotynsky. It was only in 1494 that the Lithuanians recognized the city as the "fatherland" of the Moscow princes, and he finally withdrew to the Russian state. One of the descendants of Titus Mstislavich Prince Ivan Fedorovich Gorchak was the ancestor of the princes Gorchakov.
