History
The principality was an appanage of Kievan Rus with its capital in Terebovlia. Its territories included parts of southeastern Galicia, Bukovina, and western Podolia. It bordered Principality of Kiev to the east, Zvenyhorod to the west, and parts of Volodymyr, Lutsk, and Peresopnytsia to the north.
Vasylko Rostyslavych extensively colonized the territories southeast of Terebovlia by employing Turkic peoples (Berendeys, Torks, and Pechenegs), and he annexed Ponyzia, thereby securing it against nomadic raiders. Halych gained importance as a political and economic center; other important cities and fortresses included Terebovlia, Mykulyn (now Mykulyntsi), Chern (now Chernivtsi), Vasyliv, Onut, Kuchelemyn, Bakota, Ushytsia, and Kalius.
