The article outlines the stages of non/historical definition of prince and king of Rus Danylo Romanovych as «Halytskyi». By analyzing the chronicle heritage, it was proved that this ruler, unlike his father Roman Mstyslavovych, father in law Mstyslav Mstyslavovych, and three representatives of the first Halych dynasty of the Rostyslavovychs (Volodymyrko Volodarevych, Yaroslav Volodymyrovych and Volodymyr Yaroslavovych), never used such a predicate. The continuity of use of the definition «Danylo Halytskyi» mainly in the Ukrainian and Russian historiography and partly under their influence is noted in some works of European researchers. The first king of Rus is really an important symbol and an example of state creation for modern Ukrainian history. However, he is rather a persona non grata for the history of Halych and the Halych
land of the XIII century.
