Voronizh

Voronizh lies near the Shostka in the Severian lands, not far from Hlukhiv. The settlement grew in the early seventeenth century and became a Cossack company town with earthworks and towers. Its merchants traded manufactured goods, including silk and woollen cloth, with neighbouring towns. During the Great Northern War Peter I was here in 1708 when news reached him of the capture of Baturyn.
