From the end of the 10th century the area was controlled by The Principality of Kiev. At the beginning of the 13th century it was probably submitted to The Principality of Połock. Since 1239 Black Ruthenia was kept by the Grand Prince of neighbouring original Lithuania (Listubania, Litwa), Mindowh. 1239 - 1248 was the period with the highest frequency of attacks on Ruthenia by Mindowh, which was taking advantage of Ruthenia's weakened condition after the Tartar invasions. At this time Mindowh took control of Black Ruthenia with the Castle of Nowohorodok. Mindowh may have been invited by authorities of Nowohorodok to rule after he had to leave his native land, he then passed a power to his son Woyszwiłk. In 1249 Towtiwil, Erdywil, and Wikinth fled to Daniel Halicki, the King of Halicz-Wołyń. Daniel helped them to organize a coalition against Mindowh and attacked Black Ruthenia. In the meantime, Wikinth managed to bribe the Yotvingians and half of the Samogitians, and come to an agreement with Livonian Brothers of the Sword. 1254 the King of Halicz-Wołyń, Daniel Halicki, overpowered Nowohorodok and passed the territory to his son Roman Daniłowicz, with whom it remained for several years, before being restored to Woyszwiłk, who died in 1267. He was followed by other princes of Lithuanian origin. From the end of the 13th century Black Ruthenia, together with the original Lithuania, comprised the nucleus of the Baltic-Slavic state - The Grand Duchy of Lithuania.
