He
was
also
known
as
Danylo
Romanovych.
In
1205,
after
the
death
of
his
father,
Roman
II
Mstyslavich,
the
ruler
of
Galicia–Volhynia,
the
boyars
of
Galicia
forced
the
four-year-old
Daniel
into
exile
with
his
mother
Anna
of
Byzantium
and
brother
Vasylko
Romanovich.
After
the
boyars
proclaimed
one
of
their
own
as
prince
in
1213,
the
Poles
and
Hungarians
invaded
the
principality,
ostensibly
to
support
the
claims
of
young
Daniel
and
Vasylko,
and
divided
it
between
themselves.
In
1219,
he
renounced
his
claims
to
Galicia
in
favor
of
his
father-in-law
Mstislav
the
Bold.
In
1221,
Daniel
re-established
his
rule
over
Volhynia,
where
the
boyars
and
populace
had
remained
loyal
to
his
dynasty.
In
1234,
he
defeated
Alexander
Vsevolodovich,
taking
the
Duchy
of
Belz.
By
1238,
he
had
defeated
the
Dobrzyń
Knights,
and
regained
most
of
Galicia,
including
the
capital
at
Galicia.
While
the
Prussians
were
under
pressure
from
the
Teutonic
Order,
Daniel
attempted
to
conquer
the
related
Yatvingians
