In particular, he led an unsuccessful campaign to hold Galich in the winter of 1220/21 in the course of the struggle against the Russian prince Mstislav Udatny , and the campaign of 1245 [3] , which ended with the Yaroslavl battle .
In 1221, Filny took the fight against the Russian-Polovtsian forces on the outskirts of Galich, leaving a garrison in the city led by King Koloman and building a fortification on the Church of the Virgin Mary, which after the defeat of the main forces in the field was the last stronghold of the Hungarians. In 1221, according to the results of the victory of Mstislav, peace was concluded, which ended the war, which lasted from 1215, and the daughter of Mstislav was married to Prince Andrew .
