Catherine Of Chernigov
Catherine, Kateryna or Ekaterina of Chernigov (died 12 April 1166) was princess consort of Chernigov (modern Chernihiv) as the wife of Sviatoslav Olgovich (), and princess regnant of Chernigov for a few days after his death (). Biography In early chronicles, she is not named. Not until in later sources, she is named Ekaterina or Catherine, and identified as the daughter of Petryl or Petrilo, the posadnik of Novgorod. In 1136, she married Svyatoslav Olgovich (who had previously been married to an unnamed Cuman princess, daughter of Aepa, son of Girgen, who may have died giving birth to Oleg II Svyatoslavich around the same time). Their son Igor Sviatoslavich would later gain fame as the main character of ''The Tale of Igor's Campaign''. The ''Kievan Chronicle'' mentions ''sub anno'' 6667 (1159) that there was a "princess' city for Sviatoslav's defence" () named "Oblov" () on the boundary between the lands of Smolensk and Chernigov, that was captured or razed by Iziaslav Davidov ...

Princesses Regnant
Princess is a title used by a female member of a regnant monarch's family or by a female ruler of a principality. The male equivalent is a prince (from Latin ''princeps'', meaning principal citizen). Most often, the term has been used for the consort of a prince, or for the daughter of a monarch. A crown princess can be the heir apparent to the throne or the spouse of the heir apparent. Princess as a substantive title Some princesses are reigning monarchs of principalities. There have been fewer instances of reigning princesses than reigning princes, as most principalities excluded women from inheriting the throne. An example of a princess regnant is Constance of Antioch, princess regnant of Antioch in the 12th century. Since the president of France, an office for which women are eligible, is ''ex-officio'' a co-prince of Andorra, then Andorra could theoretically be jointly ruled by a princess. Princess as a courtesy title Descendants of monarchs For many centuries, the t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Princes Of Chernigov
A prince is a male ruler (ranked below a king, grand prince, and grand duke) or a male member of a monarch's or former monarch's family. ''Prince'' is also a title of nobility (often highest), often hereditary, in some European states. The female equivalent is a princess. The English word derives, via the French word ''prince'', from the Latin noun , from (first) and (head), meaning "the first, foremost, the chief, most distinguished, noble ruler, prince". In a related sense, now not commonly used, all more or less sovereign rulers over a state, including kings, were "princes" in the language of international politics. They normally had another title, for example king or duke. Many of these were Princes of the Holy Roman Empire. Historical background The Latin word (older Latin *prīsmo-kaps, ), became the usual title of the informal leader of the Roman senate some centuries before the transition to empire, the '' princeps senatus''. Emperor Augustus established the fo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
