Bolokhovians

[2] However this theory is contradicted by archaeological evidence, which indicates that the Bolokhovian material culture resembled that of its contemporaries in the western parts of Kievan Rus'.

[4] The ethnonym seems to be connected to the name Bolokhov, an early medieval settlement that the Hypatian Chronicle – a source on the history of Kievan Rus' – mentioned around 1150.

[10] According to the Encyclopedia of Ukraine, the Bolokhovians inhabited the region around the sources of the Teteriv, Boh, Horyn and Sluch rivers.

[6] On the other hand, historian Alexandru V. Boldur believes that the Bolokhovian Land was located between the Dniester and Dnieper rivers.

[11] According to Niketas Choniates's chronicle, "the Vlachs, who had heard rumors" of the escape of Andronikos Komnenus (a rebellious cousin of the Byzantine Emperor Manuel I), captured him in 1164 at the borders of Galicia.

[17] The Bolokhovian princes supported Rostislav Mikhailovich when he besieged Bakota, a major town held by Daniil Romanovich's officials, in 1241.

[17] In revenge for the attack, Daniil Romanovich invaded and pillaged the Bolokhovian Land[18] and destroyed their fortified towns.
