EstablishedAfter expelling Prince Vsevolod Mstislavich in 1136, Novgorod invited princes under sworn agreements and was governed through its veche and elected officials (the posadnik and tysiatskii), while from the mid-twelfth century the Novgorodians chose their own bishop, raised to archbishop in 1165.
