Король без корони. Історія, яку Україна забула

He gathered almost all of modern Ukraine in six years. From the Carpathians to the Dnieper. He defeated the Polovtsy. He conquered Kyiv. He withstood the siege of Bogolyubsky at eighteen. He refused the Pope's ambassador. He prepared a reform that predated the English Magna Carta by a quarter of a century. Byzantium itself called him an imperial title. And we have almost forgotten his name. On June 19, 1205, not just a prince died on the banks of the Vistula. The project of a new Rus' died. It seemed that everything was over. Two young sons. A widow without a name. Forty years of chaos ahead. But the state he created did not disappear. It was saved by a woman whose name no chronicle has preserved. And forty eight years later her son would become the first king of Rus'. This is the story of Roman the Great. The creator of the Galician-Volyn state. The most influential ruler of pre-Mongol Rus after Yaroslav the Wise. A man that Europe knew — but we almost forgot. #SagaUA #RomantheGreat #RomanMstislavich #GalicianVolynPrincipality #DanyloGalytsky #historyofUkraine #ukrainianhistory #KievanRus #KingdomofRus #middleages #Galician #Volyn #YaroslavtheWise #historyofEurope #Ruriks #SagaUA #history #Ukraine
