Abstract:
The article intends to verify and reconstruct history of Chełm and its eparchy as reported by the Galician-Volhynian Chronicle. During Tatar invasion Chełm remained intact. That is why Daniel decided to make this town his residence. Probably in 1241, but not later than in 1246/1247 (I suppose however, that this was nearer 1241) bishopric was transferred to Chełm from Uhrusk. From 1253 Chełm became king’s Daniel’s residence.
