History

The first known owner of the territory where village located is starosta of Kaniv and Cherkasy Ostap Dashkevych who lived in the 16th century. After the death of Dashkevych, the settlement with its adjacent territories was transferred to the Kiev Cave Monastery. The transfer was confirmed by the King of Poland Sigismund I the Old. Soon thereafter Trakhtemyriv was raided and destroyed by Tatars. By the mid 16th century it was completely depopulated with a single monk staying at a local monastery. The Kiev Cave Monastery transferred the property to the administration of the Kiev Castle in 1545. In 1552 here were resettled seven families.

With the organization of Registered Cossacks of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in 1578 by the King of Poland Stephen Báthory, the city was given to the administration of the newly formed military force, while next to the local monastery was built a military hospital (1576).

In 1621 in the city of Trakhtemyriv stopped the Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem Theophanes III of Jerusalem. Following the Pavlyuk Rebellion, Trakhtemyriv was destroyed by the Polish regular army in 1637 and once again by the Ottoman Turkey army in 1678.

gollark: What does `checkerpos` do? Why *can't* you just return things from that?
gollark: `pos =` only assigns to the `pos` local variable inside the `checkerpos` function, which I assume is your issue.
gollark: It's generally cleaner to just *return* the new version of something.
