Summary/Abstract: In the last decades extensive research was focused on the relationship between the Arpad and Romanovich dynasties. Considering the role of both dynasties the research was concentrated mostly on the political history and foreign contacts in Central and Eastern Europe. This research was less focused on the situation on the level of regional history. The aim of this entry is to summarize the historical sources related to the contacts between the Hungarian Kingdom and the Galician-Volynian Principality in the 1240s, and the interpretations of them. These contacts resulted in the marriage of Princess Constance and Prince Leo.
