Principality of Smolensk

Japanese: スモレンスク公国 - スモレンスクこうこく
Principality of Smolensk
One of the principalities of medieval Russia. It originated from the homeland of the East Slavic Krivichi tribe (particularly the Smolensk Krivichi), who conquered and intermingled with the native Baltic peoples and spread to the upper reaches of the Western Dvina, Dnieper, and Volga rivers. At the end of the 9th century, during the early days of the Kievan Rus state, the central city of Smolensk was already there, but it was not until the reign of the first prince, Rostislav (reigned 1127-59), grandson of Vladimir Monomakh. Later, as the Kievan Rus state became increasingly divided into feudal domains, the two sub-principalities of Mozhaisk and Byazemsky were separated from the Smolensk principality in the second half of the 13th century.

中世ロシアの公国の一つ。バルト系原住民を征服,混交して,西ドビナ,ドニエプル,ボルガの各河川上流域に広まった東スラブ人のクリビチ族(とくにスモレンスク・クリビチ)の故地を母体とする。キエフ国家初期の9世紀末には,すでに中心市スモレンスクがあったが,公国になったのは,ウラジーミル・モノマフの孫で初代の公ロスチスラフ(在位1127‐59)の時からである。その後,キエフ国家の封建的分裂が進むなかで,13世紀後半にはスモレンスク公国からモジャイスク,ビャーゼムスキーの両分領地が分離した。
