Przemysl

Peremyshl of Moscow stood on the Mocha, a tributary of the Pakhra, south of the city of Moscow. Its fortified site belonged to a district granted by Ivan Kalita to his younger son Andrey. The town was distinct from other places bearing the same name, including Peremyshl on the upper Oka.

In 1370 Prince Vladimir Andreyevich assembled his forces at Peremyshl during Algirdas of Lithuania’s campaign against Moscow. The town was named again in agreements between Dmitry Donskoy and Vladimir and in Vladimir’s will at the beginning of the fifteenth century. Although the Peremyshl district still existed in the seventeenth century, the town itself had become an abandoned fortified site. A churchyard later marked the place where the old town had stood.
