The War of the Galician Succession or War for the unification of the Principality of Galician-Volhynia sometimes also known as the Second War of the Galician Succession was a struggle for power over the Principality of Galicia-Volhynia. It took place from 19 June 1205 to 17 August 1245. The war is one of the longest wars of succession in Europe and ended with the Romanovichi dynasty coming to power.

The first phase of the conflict (1205–1211) began after the death of Roman the Great at the Battle of Zawichost. He left two minor sons, Daniel and Vasylko, who were unable to take power because of age, resulting in a succession crisis. A number of contenders became involved in the struggle for power, including the Igorovichs and the Halych boyars, who invited them to Halych, hoping to stabilise the situation. The Igorovichs, supported by the Hungarians, initially gained the upper hand, but their brutal rule, including the massacre of boyars, provoked resistance and weakened their position. The Romanovichs, supported by Leszek the White, the Hungarians and some boyars, attempted to regain power in Halych. In 1211, Daniel was installed on the Halych throne, but still had to contend with resistance from the Igorevichs and tensions among his own allies. This period was characterised by dynamic changes in alliances, short-lived victories and growing rivalry between the Romanovichs and the Hungarians, who sought full control of Halich. Although Daniel managed to consolidate his position, the situation in the region remained unstable.

The second phase of the conflict (1211–1240) was dominated by the rivalry between the Hungarians and the Romanovichs. In 1214, Leszek the White made an agreement with King Andrew II of Hungary in an attempt to divide spheres of influence in the Principality of Halych. This agreement led to a short-lived strengthening of Hungarian influence, but resistance from Daniel and his allies made it impossible to maintain permanent control over the region. Key clashes, such as the Battle of Halych in 1229, highlighted the fierceness of the fighting, but failed to produce a clear-cut settlement. The situation was further complicated by Mongol incursions, which weakened both the Ruthenians and their neighbours, forcing the Romanovichs to temporarily withdraw to Polish lands.

The final phase of the conflict (1241–1245) ended in a decisive victory for Daniel Romanovich. On his return from Poland in 1241, Daniel began to rebuild his position, reclaiming Halych and waging further campaigns against his opponents. The war culminated in the Battle of Yaroslavl in 1245, in which Daniel, supported by the Polovtsians, defeated the forces of Rostislav, Béla IV and Boleslav the Chaste. This victory ended the 40-year struggle for the succession and consolidated the power of the Romanovichs in the Principality of Galicia-Volhynia.

Background

Before their personal union in c. 1199, the principalities of Galicia and Volhynia were the westernmost frontier of Kievan Rus' in the 12th century, and actively communicated with their neighbors. After Yaroslav Osmomysl's death (1187), Vladimir Yaroslavich ascended the throne of Halych, but due to his inefficiency and dissolute lifestyle, the veche overthrew him, Roman Mstislavich was supposed to take his place. However, Vladimir turned to the Hungarian king Béla III for help. The latter temporarily captured Halych, but due to popular discontent left it. Vladimir finally took over the region only after the intervention of Casimir II the Just, King of Poland (1190). After Vladimir's death, Roman also enlisted the support of the Poles, and in 1198 captured Halych. In the end, the capture of Halych ended the First Succession War.

Roman led an active foreign and domestic policy, subjected local nobility to repression (in Galicia), and strengthened the princely throne. Roman also established his power in Kiev (modern Kyiv), overthrew Rurik Rostislavich and put his supporter Ingvar Yaroslavich to rule. Having established his rule in the entire southwest, including the capital Kiev, Roman began to liquidate the threat of nomadic Cumans (Polovtsi), conducting a series of successful campaigns against them (1202). For this, he was nicknamed "The Great". The course of his foreign policy was then directed to the west; seeking to colonize Lithuania and possibly take away part of the Holy Roman Empire, he invaded of the Duchy of Kraków, heading to Saxony. His grandiose campaign ended before it even started. On the Vistula, he was defeated by the Poles in the Battle of Zawichost (1205) and died. Roman's death destroyed the unity of the entire south of Rus', and restored it to the form of feudal fragmentation. Rurik Rostislavich regained his position in Kiev, turned to the nomads for help, and successfully defeated the Galicians on the Seret river; but after a failed siege of Halych, he retreated.

Interventions by Leszek the White and the Hungarians: 1205–1214

Roman left two minor sons, Daniel of Galicia and Vasylko Romanovych, who were too young to take power. As a result, disputes broke out over the succession. The Halych boyars (nobles) could not agree on who should take the throne, which opened the way for claims by various dynasties. In addition, many of Roman's political opponents, who had previously been exiled, returned to the country, reinforcing the chaos. To make matters worse, the invading Rurik Rostislavich made an alliance with the Olgovichi of Chernigov. Faced with this situation, Roman's widow Anna-Euphrosyne turned to the Hungarians for support. In response, king Andrew II of Hungary organised an expedition that ended in the Battle of Mikulin, where they lost against the Olgovichi army at first, but finally won by defending Halych. The Hungarian intervention secured the principality against further claims, but also tightened Hungarian influence in the region. At the same time, Leszek the White,a Polish prince , concluded an agreement with Hungary concerning the division of spheres of influence in the Principality of Galicia–Volhynia. The Halych boyars, in an attempt to stabilise the situation, elected Vladimir Igorevich as prince. As his rule was popular, this forced the Romanovichi to flee to Poland. Leszek the White, wishing to strengthen his influence in the region and help the widow and her sons, organised an expedition to Volodymyr in 1206. The Polish forces were successful, eliminating the Igorevichi regime. Meanwhile, the Hungarian king intervened in his sphere of influence, giving power to Benedict. Despite these actions, the Igorevichi regained power by inviting the boyars, who sought to counterbalance Hungarian influence. Vladimir Igorevich attempted to consolidate his position, but in an act of desperation massacred the boyars. His actions provoked the wrath of the surviving nobles, who organised an alliance with Poland and Hungary to overthrow the Igorevichi.

In 1211, Vladislav Kormylchyc , one of the surviving boyars, undertook an expedition against the Igorevichi together with Polish-Hungarian forces. Vladimir Igorevich gathered his forces and formed an alliance with the Cumans (Polovtsians). After initial successes, including a victory over the Hungarians at the River Luta, the Igorevichi were eventually defeated at Zvenigorod (modern Zvenyhorod) by a combined Polish-Hungarian force. After the battle, Daniel Romanovich was installed on the throne and Vladimir Igorevich's sons, Rostislav and Sviatoslav, fell into captivity. After they were ransomed by boyars, they were hanged, ending the reign of the Igorevichi for good. Daniel's triumph marked the beginning of stability in the principality, although the region remained under the influence of Poland and Hungary.

From 1211, Princess Anna-Euphrosyne was the ruler of Halych. King Andrew of Hungary, realising that she intended to implement her own policy, decided to overthrow her. In 1213, he organized campaign against Halych together with the local boyars, which Vladislav Kormylchyc was in charge of. Along the way, the Hungarian learned about the rebellion inside their country, and the boyars continued their campaign independently and occupied the city. For the first time in the history of Rus', a boyar became the ruler, which indicates a significant power of the local aristocracy. Leszek at this time was dissatisfied with the course of events; he overthrew Vladislav, and Halych was left without a ruler. However, in 1214, the Hungarians and Poles again found themselves in a union when Leszek offered Andrew a marriage between the children, after the son of the Hungarian king Coloman became the ruler of Halych. The campaign was successful, and a Hungarian garrison was left in the city. Anna at this time got Leszek to transfer her to the rule of the city of Volodymyr in Volyn.

Appearance of Mstislav: 1214–1227

The conflict over Halych was joined by Prince Mstislav Mstislavich of Novgorod, who agreed with Daniel Romanovich to form a strong anti-Hungarian coalition. Such developments forced Leszek the White to conclude a new settlement with Andrew II, King of Hungary. As a result, the Polish-Hungarian-Ruthenian war began, which started unsuccessfully for Leszek the White. The first clashes ended in the defeat of the Polish prince, which initiated the collapse of his policy towards the Ruthenian lands. In 1219, the Poles and Hungarians undertook a joint offensive, which brought them victory in a clash with the Ruthenian-Novgorodian army. Despite this success, a year later the Polish forces suffered a major defeat and the situation further escalated. In January 1221, Mstislav launched a new offensive, but suffered defeat in the first battle of Halych. In the following months, a second battle ensued in which the Ruthenians, despite difficulties, managed to defeat the allied armies of Leszek the White and Andrew II. The worst blow to the allies was the loss of Andrew II's son, Coloman, who was taken captive. Eventually, a peace was concluded in 1221, which proved favourable to the Hungarians. Thanks to diplomacy, they managed to get Coloman back, which was a political success for Andrew II. For Leszek the White, the war ended in defeat, which undermined his influence and weakened his position on the international stage.

The important event in Rus' during this period was the Battle of the Kalka River (1223), in which the Rus' troops, together with allied troops of the Polovtsians, were completely crushed by the Mongols. Daniel also participated in this battle, supporting other princes in the fight against an unknown threat; he managed to survive, but was seriously injured in the chest. This defeat severely weakened the military capabilities of the Rus' princes, which influenced further political changes in the region. As a result of changing interests, alliances were also reshuffled. Daniel Romanovich and Leszek the White came to an agreement, reversing earlier setbacks that had been severe for both of them. At the same time, Mstislav Mstislavich "the Daring" teamed up with Hungary, sharpening the rivalry in the region. It did not take long for a new conflict to arise - Mstislav attacked the combined forces of Leszek and Daniel at Łysa Góra, where he suffered an unexpected defeat. A year later, Mstislav organised another expedition, which failed. in 1227 there was also a new Hungarian intervention, in which a small Polish force led by Voivode Pakosław took part. These forces were crushed by Mstislav in the battle of Zvenigorod, which undermined Polish-Hungarian influence in Rus. The death of Leszek the White at Gąsawa in 1227 was a huge blow to Rus' politics for both Poland and Hungary. The Hungarians lost a key ally in the region, greatly weakening their position and ability to interfere in the affairs of the Ruthenian principalities.

Daniel's fights against Hungary: 1227–1238

After the death of Leszek the White in 1227, Polish interventions in Ruthenia visibly weakened. Meanwhile, Daniel Romanovich concentrated his efforts on fighting with other Rus' princes for control of Kyiv. In the late 1220s, Daniel began to show activity towards Volhynia and other territories of western Rus', he captured Chertoryisk and Lutsk. By 1228, when Mstislav died, Daniel had captured almost all of Volhynia, and now the main threat came only from the Hungarians. The strengthening of Daniel's position was counterbalanced by the Kiev and Chernigov princes, and in 1229 they launched a campaign against Volhynia. However, the Metropolis of Kiev and all Rus' was against this and called for peace, which allowed Daniel to gain time and use the Cumans and Poles to move directly to Kiev, which led to the conclusion of peace. In 1230 he made an alliance with Konrad I of Masovia, supporting him in his dispute with Władysław III Spindleshanks. At the same time, Daniel was able to claim victory over the Hungarians at the Battle of Halych in 1229, temporarily securing his positions. Taking advantage of the calming of relations with Hungary, Daniel supported Konrad in his actions, including by participating in the siege of Kalisz in 1230. Artur Foryt claimed this ended in failure, but Vladimir Pashuto wrote about a successful campaign. In the same year, Daniel was forced to fight again for power in Halych. This time the Hungarians supported his opponent, boyar Sudislav. He defeated them again at Halych. Further failures of Daniel's policy weakened his position and prompted him to change his strategy. This had its problem in the constant attempts to maintain power which was taken from him by other princes or Hungarians. For this reason in 1231, he decided that the key to unifying the Ruthenian lands was to fight decisively against the Hungarians. Then, in 1232, Daniel led the arbitration of the Ruthenian princes in Kiev. Earlier campaign of Daniel against Hungary led to further conflicts and in 1233 the Battle of Shumsk was fought. According to historian Artur Foryt, the clash did not bring a decisive victory to either side. The Hungarians, unable to destroy Daniel's forces, formed a coalition with other Ruthenian princes. During this time, Daniel took advantage of the waning Hungarian influence in Halych by organising a siege of the city. The operation was successful — the Halych garrison surrendered, which strengthened the Romanovichi position in the region.

In 1234, a new war began with the Principality of Chernigov; this time, Kiev supported Galicia, but the joint campaign ended in a complete collapse. A general battle took place near the town of Torchesk, where Daniel and his allies were captured. This greatly weakened his position in Halych, where the local nobles overthrew him again and invited prince Michael of Chernihiv. In 1235, Daniel fought without interruptions with Michael for the Halych throne. Daniel's main struggle for Halych was due to the continued lack of support from the Halych boyars, who showed him no sympathy. The scales of bitterness were tipped by another invitation from the boyars to another ruler, and another change of rulers Michael was again elected ruler. Between 1234 and 1238, the political situation in Rus' and the neighbouring lands changed considerably. The Romanovichi were drawn into a coalition of Polish princes, in which the Silesian Piasts, in conflict with Konrad of Masovia, played a key role. At this time, the death of King Andrew II of Hungary created additional tensions in the region, and Konrad of Masovia, perceiving the weakening of his position, began to cooperate with Michael against the Romanovichi. In 1236, a joint expedition of Konrad and Michael took place against Daniel and his brother Vasylko. The following year, Konrad enlisted the support of the German knights of the Order of Dobrzyń, who captured Drohiczyn (Dorohychyn), but the Galicians were able to defeat them in the Battle of Drohiczyn (1238) [uk] (March 1238) and capture their Magister Bruno. The conflict ended with the signing of a peace treaty that maintained the status quo. For Konrad, the treaty was a political failure, as he had to concentrate on internal affairs in Poland. In 1237, Daniel dealt with an unfaithful ally, negotiated with King Béla IV of Hungary, and struck at Michael of Chernihiv, defeating him and gaining new territories. In 1238, Michael left his son Rostislav in Halych as governor. This action gave Daniel the opportunity to quickly recapture Halych. Thanks to a smooth operation, he captured the city without resistance.

Mongol invasions of 1239–1242

In the first half of the 13th century, the Mongols became increasingly important on Europe's eastern frontier, carrying out numerous raids into the Rus' lands. After conquering the northeastern Rus' principalities in 1237–38, the Mongols raided Ruthenia in 1239 and 1240, which culminated in the attack of Batu Khan's army on Kyiv in 1240. The siege and capture of the city led to the fall of Kievan Rus' as an independent political force. Under the onslaught of the Mongol invasion, many Rus' princes, including Daniel Romanovich and his brother Vasylko, fled to the lands of Konrad of Mazovia, seeking refuge. In early 1241, the Mongols launched their first invasions of Poland and Hungary. The Polish forces under Henry II the Pious were crushed at the Battle of Legnica (9 April 1241), opening the way to the west. An even heavier defeat was suffered by the Hungarians, who not only lost their entire army (primarily at the Battle of Mohi on 11 April 1241), but also about a third of their population, significantly weakening the country.

It seems that around this time, Daniel made Kholm (modern Chełm), which he had founded in 1237, his new capital. After the situation in the region had calmed down, Daniel and Vasylko returned to Ruthenia. They began the process of rebuilding the destroyed cities and infrastructure, consolidating their power. Soon, the Romanovichi recaptured Halych, re-establishing control over an area. Upon his return to southern Rus', Daniel realised that he had to become a vassal of the Golden Horde if he were to have any chance of maintaining possession of Galicia and Volhynia in the long term. Therefore, he would eventually travel to Sarai and formally submit himself to Batu in 1245–46.

Final stage of the war and the battle of Yaroslavl: 1243–1245

After Daniel Romanovych had recaptured Halych, Rostislav Mikhailovich, seeking support, turned to King Béla IV of Hungary for help, becoming engaged to his daughter Anna. In the meantime, Daniel had improved relations with Konrad of Masovia, and together they supported him in his actions against Bolesław the Chaste. Daniel's expedition (c. 1243) to Lublin ended in defeat, however — his forces were smashed by Rostislav and his allies at the Siena River. This clash proved to be only a prelude to a larger campaign in 1245. Both sides prepared by gathering troops and seeking allies for would later turn out to be the decisive clash. The army of Rostislav, supported by the Hungarian troops of Béla IV and the forces of Bolesław the Chaste, set out in the summer of 1245. Daniel and his brother Vasylko, knowing of the impending threat, tried to secure support from Mindaugas, a Lithuanian prince, and Konrad of Mazovia, but according to the Galician–Volhynian Chronicle, neither side took part in the battle. However, to the aid of the Romanovichi came the Polovtsians, who played an important role in the clash.

The battle began on 17 August 1245 near Yaroslavl (modern Jarosław). The attack was initiated by the army of Rostislav, which was supported by the Polish commander Florian Wojciechowicz and the Hungarian general File. However, in the course of the fighting, the Hungarian forces were shattered, which tipped the balance of victory to the side of Daniel and Vasylko. The defeat of the Rotislav's coalition was a watershed event, ending the 40-year struggle for succession in Halych and sealing the victory of the Romanovichi. The conflict was officially ended in 1247 with a peace that consolidated Daniel Romanovych's power in the region.

6. "The chronicle of Galicia-Volhynia records grand prince Daniil's submission with similar reticence. Daniil, who fled during the campaign against southern Rus', learns upon his return that the penalty for not complying with Tatar wishes will be the loss of his patrimony. Accordingly, Daniil travels to the Horde, goes down on his knees before Batu, accepts the designation slave (kholop) of the Tatars, guarantees tribute, and, like Nevskii, is dismissed with honor."
7. In historiography, the end is determined to be 1245 after the Battle of Yaroslavl. The formal peace was signed already two years later
