Chronicler of Pereyaslavl-Suzdal: Difference between revisions

 

After the ''Primary Chronicle'', the ''Chronicler of Pereyaslavl-Suzdal'' contains entries for the years 1137 and 1143, and then a continuous narrative of the events of 1138–1214.<ref name="Tvorogov"/> Beginning with the entry of 1138, the main attention of the ''Chronicler'' is concentrated on the Vladimir-Suzdal Principality. In this second part of the chronicle, as in the first, the compilation of material is selective.<ref name="Инков" /> Almost exclusively, events mentioning either directly the great Vladimir-Suzdal princes or other representatives of the ruling Suzdalian clan, are included. The most fully preserved stories are about [[Yuri Dolgorukiy]]'s struggle for Kiev (1149–1154), and about the war of succession of Yuri's sons and nephews for power in Suzdalia after the death of [[Andrey Bogolyubsky]] (1174–1176). After 1157, primarily events in the northeastern Rus' principalities are described, while the number of news records about events in Kievan Rus' in general sharply decreases.<ref name="Инков" />
