Then all the princes are linked to fathers and sons so one may trace the
families from Rurik to Fedor and beyond. Mikhail was prince of Chernigiv from
1203 and of Novgorod between 1225 and 1229. Then he was prince of Kyiv from
1238-40 and in 1241 during the Mongol Invasion, which he managed to escape. He
died in 1246, age 51. Under overall Mongol suzerainty the Russian territories
were divided into weaker principalities with Rurikid princes for each. With
Mikhail Vsyevolodovich the division of the Chernigiv lands continued as
individual udels were created for his sons. Here we have the descendents of
Mikhail Vsyevolodovich through his sons Yuri, Semyon and Oleg. His other sons
are at chart. Yuri became prince of the Taruss udel
and Semyon prince of Novosel. The descriptions of these udels is with these
