Galich-Merskoe principality [1] or Galich principality - an appanage principality in Vladimir-Suzdal Rus'. The capital is the city of Galich, a modern regional center of the Kostroma Oblast of Russia on the shore of the Lake Galich.
History[]
With the grandchildren of Konstantin in 1334, the Principality of Galich-Dmitrov split into two parts: the Principality of Galich which was taken over by Fyodor Davydovich and the Principality of Dmitrovsk which was ruled by Boris Davydovich.
Around 1363, Metropolitan Aleksi of Kiev and All Rus', who ruled during the childhood and adolescence of Grand Prince Dmitri Ivanovich, in order to avoid Galich being taken over by Ivan I Kalita, drove off his grandson Fyodor, Prince Dmitri Ivanovich [2]. The ruler of Moscow sent his deputies to the principality, in fact annexing it to the Moscow possessions.
According to the spiritual testament of Dmitry Donskoy in 1389, the Principality of Galich was again allotted and went along with the towns of Zvenigorod and Ruza to his son Yuri Dmitrievich . But after Dmitri Shemyaka's, defeated in the battle of Galich in 1450, fled to Novgorod, Vasili Dark finally put an end to the independence of the Principality of Galich, annexing its territory to the Grand Principality of Moscow.
Later, the Moscow rulers gave Galich several times as title to their sons, but they no longer possessed any rights of ownership.

Notes[]
- ^ There are various alternatives to the name Galich-Mersky
- ^ According to later genealogies, Dmitri was the son of Prince Ivan Fedorovich . However, in a number of chronicles (the Nikonovsky and the Rogozhsky chroniclers) the last Prince of Galich was named Dmitri Borisovich. A number of researchers (for example, A.V. Explupsky) suggest that there could be a cliche here. However, in the opinion of V.A. Kuchkin, Dmitri was the son of the Prince of Dmitrov Boris Davydovich.
