The Principality of Chernigov ( Russian Черниговское княжество ) was a part of the Principality of Kievan Rus with the capital Chernigov . The principality arose in 1024 in Sewerien and subsequently became one of the politically and economically most important parts of the empire. The princes of Chernigov fought several times for the title of Grand Duke of Kiev , while the rule of Chernigov was for a long time the most prestigious after Kiev.
At the beginning of its existence, the principality comprised a vast territory mainly east of the Dnieper . His domain extended to Murom and Ryazan in the northeast and to the " Wild Field " in the southeast. Novgorod-Seversky , Starodub , Brjansk , Putywl , Kursk , Glukhov and Gomel were among the principal cities of the principality .
In 1097 an independent Principality of Severia and the Principality of Murom-Ryazan were separated from the Principality of Chernigov.
The decline of the principality began in 1239 when it was devastated by the Mongol invasion of the Rus . After the death of Prince Michail von Tschernigow in 1246, it split into several smaller principalities of Bryansk , Novosil , Karachev and Tarussa . Chernigov , which was destroyed by the Mongols and for a long time one of the largest cities in all of Russia, could no longer fulfill the functions of the capital, so that it was relocated to Bryansk. Further divisions followed in the 14th century. Subsequently, the territories of the principality came under the influence of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania . At the end of the 15th century, many Orthodox nobles defected their lands to the Grand Duchy of Moscow after they had been increasingly harassed by Catholicism in Lithuania .
