Having found a way to separate the mentions of Belarusian Braslav from Pobozhye Braslav, we can decipher the mention of the Braslav governor in 1489.

Who was this Prince Andrew?

In the 3rd and 4th books of the Lithuanian Metrica, we have mentions of several princes named Andrew.

So, we have three likely candidates for the role of the Bratslav governor, with Princes Chortoryisky and Sangushko testifying to Pobozhye’s ties with Volhynia, and Zvjagelsky – to ties with the Kyiv region.
