Pelym

Pelym was a Mansi tribal principality in western Siberia, encompassing the Pelym, Sosva and Lozva river basins. Its rulers later fought Moscow for control of these lands.

In 1481 Prince Asyka raided Great Perm, but a Muscovite expedition defeated him on the Pelym River in 1483. His son Yumshan accepted Moscow's overlordship in 1485, though Pelym later escaped its control. Russian forces defeated the principality in 1593, killed Prince Ablegirim and built a fort at Pelym.
