Halych-Volynia

Halych-Volynia principality was the Ruthenian successor state of Kievan Rus' on the territory of Rus' menora (Rus' propria) including the lands of Red Ruthenia, Black Ruthenia, and the remainder southwestern Rus'. This state also briefly controlled the region of Bessarabia and Moldavia.

Among the rulers of this state was the first King of Rus', Danylo, who accepted a crown from the Roman papacy.

During this middle period of Ukrainian history (12th-14th centuries) the state was at times unified and at times separated into two principalities.

The later name of the state in Habsburg times was Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria. The principal cities of the realm were Halych, and later Lviv in the south (Halychyna/Galicia), and Volodymyr-Volynski (Lodomeria) in the north (Volynia).
