Maria of Galicia
Maria of Galicia (also Mary; before 1293 – 11 January 1341) was a princess of Galicia-Volhynia and a member of the Rurik Dynasty.[1][2] She was sister to Leo II of Galicia and Andrew of Halych, daughter of Yuri I of Galicia and his second wife, Euphemia of Kuyavia (d. 1308).[3] She assisted her son king Boleslaus George II of Halych in ruling Galicia.[1]
In 1323, her brothers Andrew of Galicia and Volynia and Leo II of Galicia were killed, and she and her niece, Eufemia, Heiress of Volynia-Lutsk, inherited the lands. Her grandfather, Leo I of Galicia, had been king of Galicia 1269-1301 and he moved his capital from Galich (Halicz) to the newly founded city of Lviv (Lwow, Lemberg).
Her mother, Euphemia of Kuyavia, was the daughter of Casimir I of Kuyavia. Before 1310, she married Duke Trojden I of Masovia, with whom she is traditionally said to have had four children:[4]
- Yuri II Boleslav (1310 – 21 March 1340), became King of Ruthenia;
- Euphemia (1312 – c. 11 January 1374), married Casimir I, Duke of Cieszyn;
- Siemowit III, Duke of Masovia (1316/1325 – 16 June 1381), Duke of Masovia;
- Casimir I of Warsaw (1329/1331 – 26 November/5 December 1355), traditionally listed as her son by Trojden I; according to a 2026 archaeogenetic study, however, he was not the biological son of Trojden I.[5]
