The Prince of Murom (Russian: князь муромский) was the title of the ruler of the Principality of Murom.[1]

History

Gleb Vladimirovich, son of Vladimir the Great, ruled the principality in the early 11th century.[2] Murom was part of the territory of the Principality of Chernigov in the late 11th century, controlled by the Sviatoslavichi, the descendants of Yaroslav the Wise; probably it was retained by Vsevolod Yaroslavich, even after this prince of Chernigov became the grand prince in 1076.[3]

Oleg Sviatoslavich, a grandson of Yaroslav and the prince of Chernigov, ruled Murom through a posadnik in the early 1090s, and it was recognised as Oleg's sphere of influence at the Liubech Conference of 1097.[4] Here Oleg's brother Davyd was made co-ruler of Chernigov, and Oleg's lands were parcelled out between Oleg, Davyd and their brother Yaroslav; the latter obtained Ryazan and Murom.[5]

In 1392, Vasily I, the grand prince of Vladimir and Moscow, obtained a patent from Khan Tokhtamysh authorising the annexation of the Murom principality, along with those of Nizhny Novgorod and Gorodets.[6]
