The Rurik dynasty established the Principality of Volhynia in Ruthenia in 987 A.D. It was populated by Eastern Slavs, and the capital Volodymyr-Volynskyi was named in honor of Saint Vladimir the Great, Prince of Novgorod, and Grand Prince of Kyiv (c. 958-1015). His descendant, Roman the Great (c. 952-1205), united Volhynia and Halych, another princ...
Roman the Great was initially an ally of the Poles but after shifting allegiances, he was killed in a battle against the Polish in 1205. Without his leadership, the Duchy of Galicia and Lodomeria became the cause of disputes between Poland and Hungary. Their rulers, Leszek I “The White” and King Andrew II, each believed that their claim to the duch...
Civil war terrorized the kingdom for over fifty years in the 1300s. In 1323 after the direct line of descent from Roman the Great was left without any survivors, Casimir III “The Great” of Poland claimed Galicia-Volhynia for the Kingdom of Poland. Casimir declared that he was King of Ruthenia and took control of Galicia and West Volhynia. East Voly...
1772 was a year of great change. During the three Partitions of Poland in 1772, 1793, and 1795 huge tranches of Poland and Lithuania were purloined by Prussia, Russia, and Austria. Catherine the Great of Russia had installed her lover Stanislaw August Poniatowski as the King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania in 1764 and this helped Catherine, E...
Ironically, under the Habsburg’s the Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria, also known as Austrian Poland and Austrian Galicia did not include the former power base of Volodymyr-Volynskyi.

As Napoleon and revolutions hit Europe in the 19th century Galicia was permitted more rights by Vienna including the abolition of serfdom in the late 1840s and its own legislative powers, a diet or sejm in 1861. Political uprisings were short-lived and unpopular with the Galicians. The people were more concerned with achieving equality between the ...
The First World War was as brutal to Galicians, fighting for the axis powers with Austria, as it was to all nations. Under the terms of the Peace of Riga in 1921, Galicia was subsumed into Poland. The east was later attached to the U.S.S.R but the west remained Polish. It’s a sorry fact that if you Google “Galicia” the results take you to Spain’s G...
This is a list of monarchs and their governors of the Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria, a state under the Habsburg monarchy from 1772 to 1918.
