Volhynia
Volhynia was a Rus' principality around Volodymyr and Lutsk, united with Halych in 1199. In 1337 the Piast prince Yuri II Boleslav ruled both lands.
Boyars poisoned Yuri in 1340, and that year King Casimir III of Poland attacked Lviv. Wars between Poland and Lithuania followed; the Lithuanian share of Volhynia became a province in 1452. After the Union of Lublin in 1569 all Volhynia formed a voivodeship of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, passing to the Russian Empire in the partition of 1795.
