Brest Litovsk Voivodeship (Belarusian: Берасьцейскае ваяводзтва; Polish: Województwo brzeskolitewskie) was a unit of administrative territorial division and a seat of local government (voivode) within the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth) since 1566 until the May Constitution in 1791, and from 1791 to 1795 (partitions of Poland) as a voivodeship in Poland.
After the Second Partition of Poland, in 1793, Pinsk and Zapynsky countries were left to Russian Empire as part of Minsk Governorate.
The Principality of Turov and Pinsk in the late 1310s joined the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (...) Kęstutis, the son of the Grand Duke Gediminas, ruled western Lithuania, including Podlasie, Troki Voivodeship, and Polesie, together with Pińsk.
After the Union of Lublin, due to its immense area, Polesie was separated from Troki Voivodeship.
The voivodeship had two senators, who were the Castellan and the Voivode (...) Among major cities were Brześć, Pińsk, Biała, Koden, Wołczyn and Kamieniec Litewski.
