WHAT DOES WAYWODE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Voivode

Voivode is a Slavic title that originally denoted the principal commander of a military force. The word gradually came to denote the governor of a province. The territory ruled or administered by a voivode is known as a voivodeship. In the English language, the title is often translated as "prince" or "duke". In Slavic terminology, the rank of a voivode is considered equal of that of a German Herzog. A Voivode was often considered to be an assistant of the Knyaz. During military actions the voivode was in charge of a conscripted army that consisted of the local population, the voj; while the knyaz had its own regular military formation, the druzhina. Today in Poland the term wojewoda means the centrally appointed governor of a Polish province or voivodeship. The Polish title is sometimes rendered in English as "palatine" or "prince palatine", in charge of a palatinate. Other similar titles could be considered Margrave, Governor-General, and others. With the expansion of the Russian Empire the title of voivode was superseded by namestnik.
