He was born as a younger son of [Daniel of Galicia](/source/Daniel_of_Galicia), a powerful prince of lands east from [Poland](/source/Poland) and later [king](/source/King_of_Ruthenia) of those regions, which was usually called [Volhynia](/source/Volhynia) or [Ruthenia](/source/Ruthenia) (roughly, near modern [Belarus](/source/Belarus) and [Ukraine](/source/Ukraine)). His mother was [Anna Mstislavna of Novgorod](/source/Anna_Mstislavna_of_Novgorod), daughter of [Mstislav the Bold](/source/Mstislav_the_Bold) (died before 1252).

In 1252, he was married to [Gertrude, Duchess of Austria](/source/Gertrude%2C_Duchess_of_Austria) as her third husband. During that time he resided in the castle of [Himberg](/source/Himberg) and participated in [her attempts to get the power in her duchy](/source/War_of_the_Babenberg_Succession), under rivaling claimants. However, already next year they ended up in divorce and Roman returned to Rus' where [Lithuanian duke](/source/Grand_Duchy_of_Lithuania) [Mindaugas](/source/Mindaugas) awarded him with control over the region of [Black Ruthenia](/source/Black_Ruthenia), including the cities of Novogrudok, [Slonim](/source/Slonim) and [Vovkovysk](/source/Vawkavysk).
