In 1199, the Galician and Volhynian lands were united into one principality. When the Hungarians came to Kremenets in 1226 to occupy it, the Russian troops completely defeated them, according to the Hypatian Chronicle. Actually, the first written mention of the city dates back to this year. In 1240, the hordes of the Mongols, led by Khan Yuaty, approached Kremenets, but could not take it. In 1255, near Kremenets, the troops of Danila of Galicia defeated the Tatar detachments of Kuremsa. After 6 years, under the terms of peace with Khan Burundai, the fortress near Kremenets had to be destroyed. Only at the end of the XIII century, during the reign of Mstislav Danilovich, the fortification was rebuilt into stone structures. In 1536, the Polish king Sisigmund I, who was also the prince of Lithuania, presented Kremenets and its outskirts to his wife Bona, originally from Italy. She fortified the castle, which had high walls, barracks, outbuildings, gunpowder, cannons and other weapons. In September 1648, Maxim Krivonos approached Kremenets with an army. The fighting lasted a month and a half, after which the fortress was nevertheless taken and destroyed. Since then, it has not been rebuilt again.
