Roman Mstislavich (Russian and Ukrainian: ''Роман Мстиславич''), also Roman Mstyslavych or Roman the Great, (c. 1152 – Zawichost, October 14, 1205) was a Rus’ prince, Grand Prince of Kiev (a member of the Rurik dynasty).〔 He was prince of Novgorod (1168–1170), of Vladimir-in-Volhynia (1170–1189, 1189–1205), and of Halych (1189, 1198/99–1205).〔 By seizing the throne of Halych, he became the master of all western Rus’. In the early 13th century, the Byzantine imperial title, "autocrate" ''(αύτοκράτωρ)'' was applied by the chroniclers to him, but there is no evidence that he assumed it officially.〔 He waged two successful campaigns against the Cumans, from which he returned with many rescued captives.〔 The effect of Roman’s victory was, however, undermined by new dissensions among the princes of Rus’.〔 Roman died in a battle with the Poles.〔 He founded the Romanovich dynasty〔 that would rule Vladimir-in-Volhynia and Halych until 1340. == Early years == He was the eldest son of Mstislav Izyaslavich (who was prince of Vladimir-in-Volhynia at that time), and Agnes, a daughter of Duke Bolesław III of Poland.〔 After the Novgorodians had expelled their prince, Svyatoslav IV Rostislavich, Roman was sent to Novgorod on April 14, 1168 by his father (who had earlier occupied Kiev).〔 However, the princes of Smolensk (Svyatoslav IV Rostislavich’s brothers) and Prince Andrey Yuryevich of Vladimir (who had supported Svyatoslav IV Rostislavich’s rule in Novgorod) spent the rest of the year conspiring and forming alliances against Mstislav Izyaslavich.〔 Following the death of Mstislav Iziaslavich on August, 1170, the Novgorodians expelled Roman and invited Andrey Yuryevich to be prince, and the latter sent Ryurik Rostislavich to rule Novgorod.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Roman the Great」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
