Halych
Halych was the Galician center of the Rus' kingdom of Galicia-Volhynia, united by Roman the Great in 1199. In 1337 its Piast ruler Yuri II held Halych and Volhynia as a Golden Horde tributary.
In 1340 boyars poisoned Yuri II, and King Casimir III of Poland attacked Lviv, beginning a struggle over the succession. Casimir annexed Galicia in 1349; it became Poland's Ruthenian Voivodeship in 1434, and its remaining legal autonomy ended in 1506.
