VSYEVOLOD GLEBOVICH (? - ca 1206-7)

 
   
 

He was the son of Gleb Rostislavich, prince of Ryazan. His son was Kur-Mikhail, appanage prince of Pronsk. The family is shown on this chart.The date of the founding of Pronsk is not known. It was on the Pronya river. It appears to have been by the early 12th century as one of the towns of the Sever lands. The first notice of Pronsk is in the Nikonovski chronicle from the last quarter of the 12th century, and in the Suzdal' chronicle under 1186. At first Pronsk with Ryazan and Murom were part of the Chernigiv principality. At the beginning of the 12th century after the Murom-Ryazan land separated from Chernigiv, it was part of that principality. It became an independent principality separate from Ryazan when Vsyevolod Glebovich received it. During practically all its history Pronsk was engaged in bitter warfare with Ryazan while struggling to maintain its independence. But sometimes it did lose and was reincorporated into Ryazan. The Ryazan grand prince Vasilii Ivanovich (1464-1483) took it but in the first part of the 16th century it fell along with all of Ryazan to Moscow. But we trace the princes of Pronsk through 10 generations after Vsyevolod.
