The Principality of Ryazan (Russian: Рязанское княжество), later known as the Grand Principality of Ryazan (Russian: Великое княжество Рязанское), was a principality from 1129 to 1521.[1] Its capital was the city of Ryazan, now known as Old Ryazan, which was destroyed in 1237 during the Mongol invasions.[2] The capital was moved to Pereyaslavl-Ryazansky, later renamed Ryazan.

Initially a part of the Principality of Murom, it fully split off from the Principality of Chernigov by 1129 as Murom-Ryazan.[3] Murom was taken by Moscow in 1392,[4] while Ryazan later became dependent on Moscow and was formally taken over by Vasili in 1521,[3] and incorporated into the centralized Russian state.[5] It maintained its formal independence longer than any other Russian principality.[4]
