Andrew of Galicia

Andrew (Ukrainian: Андрій Юрієвич, romanized: Andrii Yuriievych) (unknown – 1323) was the last king of Ruthenia in 1308–1323 (according to other sources since 1315).

Though the kingdom was one state managed together, there are sources informing that Andrew was seated in Volodymyr and Lev II in Galicia.

He had established firm relations with Polish king Władysław I the Elbow-high and Teutonic order and attempted to weaken dependence from the Golden Horde.

After their death the line of direct descendants of Roman Mstyslavych broke and the Galician state remained without a dynasty.

But soon more conservative elements took hold among the boyars and the Galician throne was given to the Mazovian duke Boleslaw Trojdenowicz (related to the deceased royal brothers through marriage to their sister Maria), who took the name Yuriy II and who ruled Galicia from 1323 until 1338.

The Kingdom of Galicia–Volhynia (1245–1349).
