Yaroslav I Vladimirovich [a] (c. 978 – 20 February 1054), better known as Yaroslav the Wise, [b] was Grand Prince of Kiev from 1019 until his death in 1054. [3] He was also earlier Prince of Novgorod from 1010 to 1034 and Prince of Rostov from 987 to 1010, uniting the principalities for a time. Yaroslav's baptismal name was George [c] after ...
According to the Primary Chronicle (PVL), Yaroslav was informed about the events in Kiev by his sister Predslava Volodimerovna. In the PVL in columns 135.27–136.1 (version A) and 140.25–141.1 (version B), Predslava informs her brother Yaroslav of their father Volodimer's death. [d] The two passages represent two differing versions of events.
Yaropolk I Sviatoslavich (also translitered as Iaropolk Svyatoslavich; Old East Slavic: Ꙗрополкъ Свѧтославичъ; [a] [1] 952 – 11 June 978) was Prince of Kiev from 972 to 978.

Yaropolk was the son of Iziaslav I of Kiev (d. 1078), and Gertruda, daughter of the Polish monarch Mieszko II Lambert (died 1034). [5] Since the Kievan succession war of 1015–1019, the Polish ruler Bolesław had taken an interest in Kievan Rus', hoping to gain control of the land of Red Ruthenia (Czerwien Grody), seized by Vladimir the Great.
But Thietmar states that Bolesław supported his son-in-law against Yaroslav in 1017, which is the date, according to the Primary Chronicle, of Sviatopolk's first defeat by Yaroslav.
