Mscivuj Bzencyscykiyvic

Mscivuj Bžeñcyšcykiyvič, known as "The Builder," was the younger brother of Švietyslav Bžeñcyšcykiyvič, the first Count of Tarnogrod. Born in 1121 ACA, Mscivuj spent his youth in Mozestava, the capital of Beloslavia, where he developed a deep love for architecture and learning. His early years in this cultural center shaped his ambitions, and at 16, he set out for Celras, the cultural capital of the region, to formally study architecture. He immersed himself in his studies for five years, gaining expertise and inspiration that he would later bring to Tarnogrod.
When his studies were complete, Mscivuj returned to Tarnogrod, joining his brother in managing the growing city. His skills and vision in architecture contributed greatly to Tarnogrod's expansion, solidifying its layout and constructing buildings that would last for generations. After the tragic death of his brother in 1147, Mscivuj, at the age of 26, assumed the title of Count of Tarnogród. 
Over the next 14 years, he dedicated himself to governing Tarnogrod, focusing on fortifying the city and enhancing its infrastructure. However, his rule was brought to a heroic end in 1166 during a massive invasion by the Bannoverians. Mscivuj led his forces bravely, ultimately repelling the attackers but sacrificing his life in the process. His legacy as "The Builder" is immortalized in the city’s enduring architectural achievements and its strengthened defenses, making him a vital figure in the history of Tarnogrod.
