Initially a part of the Principality of Murom, it fully split off from the Principality of Chernigov by 1129 as Murom-Ryazan.[3] Murom was taken by Moscow in 1392,[4] while Ryazan later became dependent on Moscow and was formally taken over by Vasili in 1521,[3] and incorporated into the centralized Russian state.[5] It maintained its formal independence longer than any other Russian principality.[4]
