Biography
He took part in the Battle of Blue Waters (1362). He led one of the teams in the battle of Olgerd with the Golden Horde army . The victory in this battle over the troops of the khans of the Podolsk and Crimean hordes of Khadzhibey and Kutla-Bugi allowed the Koryatovs to take possession of Maloye Podolye, which passed to Konstantin Olgierdovich. Together with Bratslavshchina , which was already owned by Konstantin, it formed the Principality of Podolsk , where Konstantin became the first prince. Konstantine was also a prince of Chernigov and Prince of Seversk.
Konstantin became directly a vassal of the Grand Duke of Lithuania.
After 1362 Konstantin Olgierdovich held the capital in Smotrich. The chronicler noted that the Principality of Podolsk land (Little Podolia), badly devastated by the Baskaks and Atamans, was in a state of decline, many cities had to be rebuilt. During the reign of Prince Konstantin (1380 - until 1388/1392), an own coin was minted in the Principality of Podolsk, known from historical sources as the “ Podolsky half-groschik ”. On the early coins there was an inscription in Latin: “ Konstantin the prince, the landowner and the owner of Smotrich ”, on the later ones - “ Konstantin the prince, the landowner and the owner of Podolya ”.
According to Supral, Slutsk and other chronicles, in 1344, interested in joining Podolia, the Polish king, Casimir III, offered Konstantin Olgierdovich to marry one of his daughters, Kunegund. However, Konstantin did not want to convert from Orthodoxy to the Catholic faith, and negotiations ended without result. The chronicler specially noted the fidelity of Prince Konstantin Olgierdovich to Orthodoxy, since the other Olgierdovichs were not so firm.
The aggression of King Casimir III in August-November 1349 ended with the seizure of Principality of Halych and most of Volyn. In order not to lose his principality, Konstantin Olgierdovich swore alegiance to the king of Poland.
