Belz Voivodeship

1462–1772 · 15th century

The Belz Voivodeship was a province of the Kingdom of Poland, and later of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, created in 1462 when King Casimir IV took over the Principality of Belz after the local line of the Masovian dukes died out. With its capital at Belz, it lay in the region of Red Ruthenia, in present-day western Ukraine and eastern Poland. Austria annexed it in the First Partition of Poland in 1772.
