The Kyiv Voivodeship[1] or Kiev Voivodeship (Template:Lang-pl, Template:Lang-uk) was a unit of administrative division and local government in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania from 1471 until 1569 and of the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland from 1569 until 1793, as part of Lesser Poland Province of the Polish Crown.
Description
It was the biggest voivodeship of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth by land area, covering, among others, the land of Zaporizhian Cossacks. Under the order of King Casimir IV Jagiellon, it had replaced the former Principality of Kiev, ruled by Lithuanian-Ruthenian princes from two families (House of Algirdas and Olshansky family).[2][3] Its first administrative center was Kiev, but when the city was given to Imperial Russia in 1667 by Treaty of Andrusovo, the capital moved to Zhytomyr (Template:Lang-pl), where it remained until 1793.
Municipal government
The governor of the voivodeship was voivode (voivode of Kiev).[4] In the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth the other two major administrative positions were castellan[5] and bishop (biskup kijowski).
