He was the son of Semyon Mikhailovich, appanage prince of Novosil'. His
sons were Vasilii, Lev,
Daniil, prince or crown prince of Novosel'; Semyon, and Yuri. They are all shown on this family
chart.
The first mention of Novosel' in the chronicles is for 1155 when it came into
the Chernigiv Severia lands. In 1246 after the division of the otchina of
Mikhail Vsyevolodovich, Novosil with its surroundings and the town of Glukhov
became separated from Chernigiv principality and was an independent udel ruled
by Semyon, the third son of Mikhail Vsyevolodovich. After the destruction of
Novosil by the Tatars in the second half of the14th century, the appanage
prince, Roman Semyonovich, moved to live at Odoyev. This probably ended
Novosil's situation as a udel separate from Odoyev. By the reign of Dmitri
Donskoi it was part of the Moscow lands.
