Biography
Very little is known about Prince Ivan of Novosilsky. Patronymic of Prince John of Novosilsky from sources is unknown. R.V. Zotov believed that he could be the son of Semyon or Sergiy Alexandrovich Novosilsky, mentioned in the Lyubetsk synodic. According to M.K. Lyubavsky and S.M. Kuchinsky, Prince John was the son of Prince Semyon of Novosilsky, that is, he was a brother to Prince Roman Semenovich . A.V.Shekov adheres to the same point of view. It is also known that Ivan Novosilsky was the son-in-law of the Lithuanian prince Olgerd and his ally in the confrontation with the Moscow principality.
From the message of the Grand Duke of Lithuania Olgerd to the Patriarch of Constantinople Filofei Kokkin
"They attacked the son-in-law of my Novosilsky prince Ivan and his principality, seized his mother and took away my daughter, without folding the oath that they had to them." Since the mother of Prince John was captured and captured, one might think that she was not the mother of Prince Roman Semenovich. In any case, Prince Roman should have sanctioned his authority with a label-grant of the ruling khan.
Lithuanian-Moscow War (1368–1372)
At the beginning of this confrontation, the senior Novosilsky table was occupied by the son-in-law of Olgerd - Prince John of Novosilsky. However, in 1370, in response to the military operations of Olgerd and his allies, the Moscow prince “sent to fight Bryansk”. Probably, during this particular campaign, the Moscow forces occupied Kaluga, Mtsensk and robbed the reign of the Novosil prince John. Senior Novosilsky table was occupied by Prince Roman Semenovich .
