Whether they personally participated in the battle seems unlikely, however.← Previous edit Latest revision as of 01:40, 12 January 2025 edit undoNederlandse Leeuw (talk | contribs)Autopatrolled, Extended confirmed users62,834 edits removed Category:Kingdom of Galicia–Volhynia; added Category:Battles involving Galicia–Volhynia using HotCat

War of the Galician Succession (1205–1245)

The Battle of Mikulin (1205) was an armed clash on the Seret River in the Mikulin area, which took place as part of war of the Galician succession after the death of Roman the Great.

The combined forces of Rurik Rostislavich, who had seized the Kyiv throne, and the Olgovichi from Chernihiv advanced on Halych to overthrow the regency of Anna-Euphrosyne over the young Romanovichi, Daniel of Galicia and Vasylko Romanovich. The allied armies encountered Halych and Volynian troops supporting the Romanovichi. After day-long fighting, Daniel's forces retreated to Halych. The support of Hungarian troops, which King Andrew II of Hungary sent to the aid of the Romanovichi, proved decisive. Thanks to this, Halych was successfully defended and the army of Rurik and the Olgovichi abandoned the siege. Hungarian assistance not only strengthened the city's defences, but also prevented the Halych boyars, opposed to the Romanovichi rule, from cooperating with the invaders.

Notes

  1. They eventually defended Halych and repulsed the Olgovichi claims to the throne.
