A depiction of Yaroslav the Wise from Granovitaya Palata. The early years of Yaroslav's life are mostly unknown. He was one of the numerous sons of Vladimir the Great, presumably his second by Rogneda of Polotsk, [5] although his actual age (as stated in the Primary Chronicle and corroborated by the examination of his skeleton in the 1930s) [6] would place him among the youngest children of ...
Iziaslav succeeded his father, after Yaroslav's oldest child, Vladimir (the only child by Yaroslav's first wife), had predeceased his father. Iziaslav was one of the authors of the Pravda of Yaroslav's Descendants – a part of the first legal code of the Russkaya Pravda. [4] [5] He is also credited with the foundation of the Kiev Pechersk ...
In the battle of Liubech (Lyubeč) in 1016, Yaroslav's troops defeated the supporters of the Kievan prince, who then fled to the possessions of his father-in-law, the Polish king Bolesław the Brave. [4] In 1018, Bolesław defeated Yaroslav at the Western Bug, and having reached Kiev, restored his son-in-law to the throne. [4]
In the meantime, Bolesław's Pecheneg allies approached Kiev, forcing Yaroslav to detach a part of his forces to ensure the safety of his capital. [3] According to Jaworski, Yaroslav, in turn, wanted to prevent Bolesław from uniting with the Pechenegs, defeat Bolesław's main force and then take care of the less organized Pechenegs. [3]
The Battle of Liubech (1016) was a clash between the troops of Sviatopolk (prince of Kiev and Turov) and his brother Yaroslav (prince of Novgorod) near the town of Liubech (modern Chernihiv Oblast). It was part of the Kievan succession crisis of 1015–1019 that broke out between the brothers after the death of prince Volodimer I of Kiev (1015).
Iaroslav was the second son of Sviatopolk Iziaslavich (who was the youngest son of Iziaslav I Iaroslavich, Grand Prince of Kiev). [1] Iziaslav fled to Poland after his brothers, Sviatoslav Iaroslavich and Vsevolod Iaroslavich, dethroned him in 1073. [2] Sviatopolk accompanied his exiled father. [2]
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. Preparing a campaign against Kiev, Bolesław abruptly stopped a successful war against the German Emperor Henry II. So, it is unlikely that Sviatopolk had been ...
