Notes about Vladimir II of Kiev /Monomakh (Vladimir II of Kiev) "Monomakh" Grand Prince of Kiev Grand Prince of Kiev / Великий князь Киевски

Name Suffix: II, Grand Duke/Kiev Prince/Smolensk&Tschernikov

Storfyrste. Født 1053. Død 19.05.1125.
Storfyrste av Novgorod (Kiev) 1113 - 1125.
Fra Snorre Sturlasson: Magnus Erlingssons saga:
?2. ... var søstre og døtre til Harald øst i Gardarike, som var sønn til Valdemar Jarisleivsson. ...?

Fyrste. Død ca. 1141.
Vladimir kalles også Valedar.
I ?Våre forfedre? av Mogens Bugge kalles han ?Vladimir av Halicz? og hans datter ?Sophie av Halicz?. Det angis at han døde ca. 1144.
I ?Die Nachkommen Karls des Grossen? av Erich Brandenburg angis som Sophias far Wolodar, fyrste av Minsk i 1150 og av Gorcdez i 1158, død etter 1167. Dette kan ifølge Mogens Bugge ikke være riktig. Han anser, som også danske kilder, at hennes far var Vladimir (av Novgorod).
Det er imidlertid enighet om at hennes mor var Richiza av Polen.

Fyrste av Smolensk 1067 - 1094.
Fyrste av Chernigiv 1078 - 1094.
Fyrste av Pereyaslavl 1094 - 1113.
Storfyrste av Kijev [Kiev] 1113 - 1125.
Vladimir (Volodymyr) ble fyrste av Pereyaslavl da hans far, Vsevolod I, døde og støttet sin
kusine Sviatopolk som storfyrste av Kijev for å unngå krig mellom de russiske prinsene.
Han ble populær etter sine vellykkede kampanjer (1103-11) mot kumanene, nomadiske
innvandrere som var en konstant trussel mot Russland.
Han etterfulgte Sviatopolk som storfyrste da denne døde. Under hans regjeringstid blomstret
landet og vokste i styrke. Han innførte sosial lovgivning, utvidet koloniseseringen i de
nordøstre skogene og bygde nye byer.
Fra Snorre Sturlasson: Magnus Erlingssons saga:
?2. ... Kong Valdemar var nær frende til kong Magnus. Ingelborg, kong Valdemars mor, og
Malmfrid, mor til Kristin, som var Magnus's mor, var søstre og døtre til kong Harald [Mstislav I]
øst i Gardarike, som var sønn til Valdemar [Vladimir] Jarisleivsson. ....
Datidens Gardarike omfattet de to byene Holmgard (Novgorod i Russland) og Kønugard (Kijev
i nåværende Ukraina).

Sophie, gift med Valdemar I Knudsson den Store av Danmark, var datter til den polske
hertugdatteren Richiza (Richeza, Ryksa, Rixa) Boleslawsdatter i hennes annet ekteskap med
fyrsten Vladimir (Valedar, Volodar). Det er omstritt hvem denne Vladimir var.
Den svenske ?Nationalencyklopedin? oppgir følgende om Sophie, dessverre uten
kildeangivelser:
?Sofia (da. Sophie), d. 1198, dansk drottning, dotter till furst Volodar av Minsk [i
Hvit-Russland] och Rikissa (sedermera svensk drottning). S. förmäldes 1157 med Valdemar I
(den store) av Danmark. De fick sönerna Knut Valdemarsson och Valdemar II Sejr och sex
döttrar, bl.a. Ingeborg, som förmäldes med Filip II August av Frankrike, och den svenska
drottningen Rikissa. Sedan gemålen 1182 dött bortgiftes S. av dynastiska skäl med lantgreve
Ludvig av Thüringen men försköts efter en tid och återvände till Danmark.?
I ?Europeischen stammtafel? har jeg fått oppgitt at det skal finnes følgende fotnote:
?Die Frage der Abstammung die Fürstin Sofia in den letzten Generation ist strittig. Nach Jan
Gallen: "Vem var Valdemar den stores Drottning Sofia" in Det nordiske Historikermøde i
København 1971 Beretning, pp 80-81, war sie die Tochter den Fürsten Wolodar von Minsk,
als welche in den nordische Tafeln den freundlichen Hinweis von Dr Hans
Gillingstam/Stockholm erscheint. Dr Edvard Ryner/Pyrcyase hat der Frage zuletzt
unentscheiden gelassen (Krolevna Szwedska Marianna na Tronie Zachnodia Pomerskin u
Lattech 1238-1252, p18, in; Zapinski: Histoyczne tomas XLV, 1980).?
I ?Die Nachkommen Karls des Grossen? av Erich Brandenburg oppgis også at hennes far var
Wolodar, fyrste av Minsk i 1150 og av Gorcdez i 1158, død etter 1167.
Mogens Bugge hevder at Erich Brandenburgs påstand ikke kan være riktig. Han påstår i
stedet at hun var datter til Vladimir av Halicz som døde omkring 1144. Som far til Vladimir
oppgir han fyrst Vsevolod av Novgorod, død 11.02.1136, gift i 1123 med en datter til fyrst
Swiatoslaw (Swiatoscha) av Lutzk. Bugge viser til at NPT (Norsk Personalhistorisk Tidsskrift) -
3 s. 440, C 8 og I. 7 - korrekt oppgir Sophies far å være Vladimir av Halicz, men hevder at
NPT så feilaktig gjør Vladimir til sønn av ovennevnte Wolodar i stedet for Vsevolod.
Utdrag fra ?Dansk Biografisk Leksikon?:
?Sophie, ca. 1141-98, Dronning. F. ca. 1141, d. 5. Maj 1198, begr. i Ringsted. Forældre:

Valdemar I. 2) med Grev Ludvig af Thüringen.?
I sin stamtavle over de danske konger kaller Abbed Vilhelm [ca. 1125-1203] Sophies far
?Valedar, russernes konge?. Abbed Vilhelm levde samtidig med Sophie og kong Valdemar og
hadde rimeligvis god kunnskap om Sophies herkomst.
Om Abbed Vilhelm av Ivan Boserup:
ABBED VILHELM SØGER RÅD HOS PAVE CØLESTIN
OMKRING DEN ÆLDSTE DANSKE SELVBIOGRAFI (Vilh., Ep. II 47)
[pp. 9-28 in : Fund og Forskning i Det Kongelige Biblioteks Samlinger, Bind 31, 1992]:
?Abbed Vilhelm af Æbelholt, ca. 1125-1203, var en af de mest farverige personligheder i
Valdermartidens Danmark. Som ung regelbunden augustiner-kannik, canonicus regularis, ved
Ste.-Geneviève-kirken i Paris synes han at have udvist så stor selvstændighed, at han kom
på kant med sin abbed, og pave Alexander III måtte nedsætte en særlig kommission for at få
udredt trådene i den vanskelige sag. Vi kender ikke kommissionens konklusioner eller pavens
dom, for i vore kilder henvises der kun indirekte til konflikten, men da biskop Absalon, som
måske havde lært Vilhelm at kende tidligere, inviterede ham til Danmark for at blive abbed, tog
han imod indbydelsen. Vilhelm kom hertil i 1165, satte skik på klosteret på Eskilsø i Roskilde
fjord og overflyttede det sidenhen til Æbelholt i Nordsjælland, hvor naturbetingelserne var
gunstigere. Sideløbende med at han styrede sit efterhånden blomstrende kloster, fungerede
han i kongens og i Ærkebiskop Absalons diplomati. Vilhelm måtte udstå megen nød og
modgang som klosterleder, og han synes ofte at have overvejet at vende hjem igen til
Frankrig. Han døde to år efter sin ven og velgører Absalon. Pave Honorius II ophøjede ham til
helgen i 1224.?

He succeeded cousin Svyatopolk II in Kiel in 1113, founded the city of
Vladimir - renowned as a ruler, warrior, and writer of works of Russian
secular literature in the earliest form. With his death ended the efforts to
form an alliance of the different sections or Kiev, and the fragmentation
continued. Other states challenged Kiev's supremacy. Of course, there was
still the kahn and the Mongals to contend with, within the whole of Russia.
Moscow was founded in 1147. Enters Prince Alexander Yaroslavenich next.

Vladimir II Monomakh
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Volodymyr Monomakh (Ukrainian: ????????? ???????; Russian: ???????? ???????; Christian name Vasiliy, or Basil) (1053–May 19, 1125)—or Vladimir in English—was one of the most famous Velikiy Kniaz (Grand Prince) of Kievan Rus'.

[edit] Family
He was the son of Vsevolod I by an anonymous daughter of Emperor Constantine IX Monomachos, from whom he takes his nickname of Monomakh (Greek: "One who fights alone").

Through his maternal grandmother's family, Vladimir was apparently a descendant of the Argyros and Skleros families of the Byzantine Empire, and thus could have traced his bloodline to several other emperors such as Romanus I and Leo V. These Greek connections played an important role in his foreign affairs.

Eupraxia of Kiev, a sister of Vladimir, became notorious all over Europe for her divorce from the Holy Roman Emperor Henry IV on the grounds that he had attempted a black mass on her naked body.

[edit] Reign
In his famous Instruction to his own children, Monomakh mentions that he conducted 83 military campaigns and 19 times made peace with the Polovtsi. At first he waged war against the steppe jointly with his cousin Oleg, but after Vladimir was sent by his father to rule Chernigov and Oleg made peace with the Polovtsi to retake that city from him, they parted company. Since that time, Vladimir and Oleg were bitter enemies who would often engage in internecine wars. The enmity continued among their children and more distant posterity.

From 1094, his chief patrimony was the southern town of Pereyaslav, although he also controlled Rostov, Suzdal, and other northern provinces. In these lands he founded several towns, notably his namesake, Vladimir, the future capital of Russia. In order to unite the princes of Rus' in their struggle against the Great Steppe, Vladimir initiated three princely congresses, the most important being held at Lyubech in 1097 and Dolobsk in 1103.

When Sviatopolk II died in 1113, the Kievan populace revolted and summoned Vladimir to the capital. The same year he entered Kyiv to the great delight of the crowd and reigned there until his death in 1125. As may be seen from his Instruction, he promulgated a number of reforms in order to allay the social tensions in the capital. These years saw the last flowering of Ancient Rus, which was torn apart 10 years after his death.

Volodymyr Monomakh is buried in the Saint Sophia Cathedral in Kyiv. Succeeding generations often referred to his reign as the golden age of that city. Numerous legends are connected with Monomakh's name, including the transfer from Constantinople to Rus of such precious relics as the Theotokos of Vladimir and the Muscovite crown called Monomakh's Cap.

[edit] Marriages and children
Volodymyr was married three times. His first wife was Gytha of Wessex, daughter of Harold of England who fell at Hastings and Ealdgyth Swan-neck. They had at least five children:

Mstislav I of Kiev (1 June 1076 - 14 April 1172).
Izyaslav Vladimirovich, Prince of Kursk (c. 1077 - 6 September 1096).
Svyatoslav Vladimirovich, Prince of Smolensk and Pereyaslav (c. 1080 - 16 March 1114).
Yaropolk II of Kiev (1082 - 18 February 1139).
Viacheslav I of Kiev (1083 - 2 February 1154).
The following daughter has been attributed to both the first and the second wife:

Marina Vladimirovna (d. 1146). Married Leon Diogenes. A pretender to the throne of the Byzantine Empire, claiming to be a son of Romanos IV. Rose to the rank of khan of the Cumans in Ossetia.
The second wife is considered to have been a Byzantine noblewoman. The Primary Chronicle records her date of death on 7 May 1107. However the Chronicle does not mention her name. They had at least six children:

Roman Vladimirovych, Prince of Volhynia (d. 6 January 1119).
Eufemia of Kiev (d. 4 April 1139). Married Coloman of Hungary.
Eupraxia Vladimirovna (d. 1109).
Agafia Vladimirovna. Married Vsevolod Davidovich, Prince of Gorodno. Her husband was a son of Davyd Igorevych, Prince of Volhynia (d. 1113).
Yuri Dolgoruki (d. 15 May 1157).
Andryi Vladimirovych, Prince of Volhynia (11 July 1102 - 1141).
His third marriage is thought to have been to a daughter of Aepa Ocenevich, Khan of the Cumans. Her paternal granfather was Osen. Her people belonged to the Kipchaks, a confederation of pastoralists and warriors of Turkic origin.

However the Primary Chronicle identifies Aepa as father-in-law to Yuri Dolgoruki. With Vladimir negotiating the marriage in name of his son. Whether father and son married sisters or the identity of intended groom was misadentified is unclear.

--------------------

Владимир-Василий Всеволодович, по прозванию Мономах, сын Всеволода Ярославича , один из замечательнейших русских князей Киевской Руси. Родился в 1053 г. При жизни отца был сначала князем в Смоленске, с которым позднее соединил Чернигов. Когда Всеволод умер, киевляне желали видеть Владимира своим князем, но он, соблюдая очередь старшинства, уступил Киев своему двоюродному брату Святополку Изяславичу . Вскоре он должен был оставить Чернигов, занятый другим его двоюродным братом, Святославичем, и удалился на первоначальный "стол отень", в Переяслявль. В 1113 г. умер Святополк Изяславич, и Владимир по новым настойчивым просьбам киевлян занял киевский стол, на этот раз нарушив право старшего в роде, Олега Святославича . Мирное население одинаково страдало тогда и от княжеских усобиц, и от нападений половцев. Владимир употребил много усилий на борьбу с теми и другими. Ранние его выступления против половцев были не вполне удачны; так, в 1093 г. он, действуя в союзе с Святополком Изяславичем, потерпел от них двойное поражение - на реке Стугне и при селе Желани. Точно так же не всегда удавались ему сначала и попытки сплотить русских князей для борьбы с общим врагом; благодаря его влиянию, было достигнуто объединение князей на Любечском съезде (1097), но вскоре оно было нарушено, и половцы снова появились на Руси, призываемые самими князьями. С течением времени, однако, усилия Владимира увенчались успехом: он добился того, что после ряда поражений, нанесенных объединившимися русскими князьями (например, на урочище Сутень и при Лубнах), половцы прекратили на время свои набеги. Не раз содействовал Владимир мирному исходу возникавших распрей, являясь, обыкновенно, защитником обиженной стороны. Когда, например, Василько Ростиславич был ослеплен Давыдом Волынским , с согласия киевского великого князя Святополка, Владимир предупредил грозившую стать общей усобицу, убедив князей восстановить нарушенную справедливость наказанием виновника. Эта миротворческая деятельность Владимира принимает особенно широкие размеры с того времени, как он становится великим князем Киевским. Отдельные его мероприятия теперь начинают складываться в определенную политическую систему. Он стремится к сосредоточению в своих руках наиболее важных русских областей, поручая их своим сыновьям; в Новгороде сажает Мстислава, в Переяславле - Святополка, а после его смерти - Ярополка , в Смоленске - Вячеслава , в Суздальской земле - Юрия . Путем брачных связей, а частью и с помощью силы, он подчиняет своему влиянию и более отдаленные земли - турово-пинскую, волынскую и полоцкую. В результате Владимир становится действительно "старейшим князем" в Русской земле, который мог направлять на общее дело разрозненные силы удельных князей и страхом наказания удерживать их в повиновении. С другой стороны, в политике Владимира заметно выступает желание закрепить достигнутое объединение владений, а с ним и старейшинство за своим родом, чтобы самую идею старейшинства поставить на более прочное династическое основание. В этих видах он еще при жизни переводит старшего сына своего Мстислава из Новгорода в Белгород, обеспечивая тем возможность передать ему киевский стол, уже по новому порядку. Большое внимание уделял Владимир и внутренней жизни населения, в частности - устройству суда и управления. С его именем, например, связаны вошедшие в состав "Русской Правды" постановления о процентах ("о резе") и закупах, принятые на созванном им в Берестове съезде "мужей" его и Олега Святославича. В его "Поучении" детям содержатся разнообразные наставления, явно внушенные ему собственным опытом. Блестящие результаты деятельности Владимира привлекли к нему симпатии населения и окружили его имя в народной памяти особым ореолом. Летописец называет его "чудным князем", "милостивым паче меры", "жалостливым". Название "Мономах" он получил, вероятно, по своему делу со стороны матери, которая, по некоторым известиям, была дочерью византийского императора Константина Мономаха. По другому объяснению, он получил это название потому, что, во время похода на генуэзцев, убил на поединке генуэзского князя (мономах-единоборец). Исключительное положение, какое Владимир занял среди русских князей, дало повод к образованию легенды, будто он был венчан на царство митрополитом Неофитом, который при этом возложил на него знаки царского достоинства - венец и бармы, присланные византийским императором. Поэтому и венец московских государей стал впоследствии называться шапкой Мономаха. Владимир умер 19 мая 1125 г. Он был женат три раза; первой его женой была английская королевна Гида Геральдовна. - См.: И. Лашнюков "Владимир Мономах и его время" ("Киев. Ун. изв.", 1873, № 11); С. Прозоровский "По вопросу о регалиях, приписываемых Владимиру Мономаху" ("Труды 3-го археологического съезда"); И.

Vladimir II Monomakh ( Russian: Владимир Мономах; Ukrainian: Володимир Мономах; Christian name Vasiliy, or Basileios) (1053 – May 19, 1125) was a famous Velikiy Kniaz (Grand Prince) of Kievan Rus'.

He was the son of Vsevolod I (married in 1046) and Anastasia of Byzantium (d. 1067). Her father which some give as Emperor Constantine IX Monomachos, is not attested in any reliable primary source.

Eupraxia of Kiev, a sister of Vladimir, became notorious all over Europe for her divorce from the Holy Roman Emperor Henry IV on the grounds that he had attempted a black mass on her naked body.

In his famous Instruction (also known as The Testament) to his own children, Monomakh mentions that he conducted 83 military campaigns and 19 times made peace with the Polovtsi.

Numerous legends are connected with Monomakh's name, including the transfer from Constantinople to Rus of such precious relics as the Theotokos of Vladimir and the Vladimir/Muscovite crown called Monomakh's Cap.

Marriages and children:

Vladimir was married three times. His first wife was Gytha of Wessex, daughter of Harold of England who fell at Hastings and Edith Swannesha. They had at least five children:

-Mstislav I of Kiev (1 June 1076 - 14 April 1132).

-Izyaslav Vladimirovich, Prince of Kursk (c. 1077 - 6 September 1096).

-Svyatoslav Vladimirovich, Prince of Smolensk and

-Yaropolk II of Kiev (1082 - 18 February 1139).

-Viacheslav I of Kiev (1083 - 2 February 1154).

The following daughter has been attributed to both the first and the second wife:

-Marina Vladimirovna (d. 1146). Married Leon Diogenes. A pretender to the throne of the Byzantine Empire, claiming to be a son of Romanos IV. Rose to the rank of khan of the Cumans in Ossetia.

The second wife is considered to have been a Byzantine noblewoman. The Primary Chronicle records her date of death on 7 May 1107. However the Chronicle does not mention her name. They had at least six children:

--------------------

Vladimir II Monomach, född 1053 i Kiev i dåvarande Kievriket, död i London den 19 maj 1125, var storfurste av Kievriket från 1113. Han var dotterson till den bysantinske kejsaren Konstantin IX Monomachos. Han blev prins av Smolensk 1077 och prins av Tjernigov 1078. Vladimir fortsatte som sina företrädare att dels hålla samman det kievryska riket, genom att bekämpa de hotande stäppfolken, framför allt polovtserna, dels centralisera den politiska makten till Kiev. Som ett av den fornryska litteraturens viktigaste dokument framstår Vladimirs testamente från cirka 1117, vilket i huvudsak utgörs av en självbiografi och en brevsamling.

Vladimir II var gift tre gånger. Han gifte sig år 1074 i London med Gytha av England, född i London 1053. De fick följande barn:

Mstislav I, född 1076, furste av Kiev.

Iziaslav, född 1077.

Svjatoslav, född cirka 1080.

Jaropolk II, född 1082.

Vladimir (Volodymyr) ble fyrste av Pereyaslavl da hans far, Vsevolod I, døde og støttet sin kusine Sviatopolk som storfyrste av Kijev for å unngå krig mellom de russiske prinsene.

Han ble populær etter sine vellykkede kampanjer (1103-11) mot kumanene, nomadiske innvandrere som var en konstant trussel mot Russland.

Han etterfulgte Sviatopolk som storfyrste da denne døde. Under hans regjeringstid blomstret landet og vokste i styrke. Han innførte sosial lovgivning, utvidet koloniseseringen i de nordøstre skogene og bygde nye byer.

[edit] Family

He was the son of Vsevolod I (married in 1046) and Anastasia of Byzantium (d. 1067). Her father which some give as Emperor Constantine IX Monomachos, is not attested in any reliable primary source.

Eupraxia of Kiev, a sister of Vladimir, became notorious all over Europe for her divorce from the Holy Roman Emperor Henry IV on the grounds that he had attempted a black mass on her naked body.

[edit] Reign

The Testament of Vladimir Monomakh to Children, 1125. Lithography of 1836.

In his famous Instruction (also known as The Testament) to his own children, Monomakh mentions that he conducted 83 military campaigns and 19 times made peace with the Polovtsi. At first he waged war against the steppe jointly with his cousin Oleg, but after Vladimir was sent by his father to rule Chernigiv and Oleg made peace with the Polovtsi to retake that city from him, they parted company. Since that time, Vladimir and Oleg were bitter enemies who would often engage in internecine wars. The enmity continued among their children and more distant posterity.

From 1094, his chief patrimony was the southern town of Pereyaslav, although he also controlled Rostov, Suzdal, and other northern provinces. In these lands he founded several towns, notably his namesake, Vladimir, the future capital of Russia. In order to unite the princes of Rus' in their struggle against the Great Steppe, Vladimir initiated three princely congresses, the most important being held at Lyubech in 1097 and Dolobsk in 1103.

When Sviatopolk II died in 1113, the Kievan populace revolted and summoned Vladimir to the capital. The same year he entered Kiev to the great delight of the crowd and reigned there until his death in 1125. As may be seen from his Instruction, he promulgated a number of reforms in order to allay the social tensions in the capital. These years saw the last flowering of Ancient Rus, which was torn apart 10 years after his death.

Vladimir Monomakh is buried in the Saint Sophia Cathedral in Kiev. Succeeding generations often referred to his reign as the golden age of that city. Numerous legends are connected with Monomakh's name, including the transfer from Constantinople to Rus of such precious relics as the Theotokos of Vladimir and the Vladimir/Muscovite crown called Monomakh's Cap.

[edit] Marriages and children

Vladimir was married three times. His first wife was Gytha of Wessex, daughter of Harold of England who fell at Hastings and Edith Swannesha. They had at least five children:

* Mstislav I of Kiev (1 June 1076 - 14 April 1132).

* Izyaslav Vladimirovich, Prince of Kursk (c. 1077 - 6 September 1096).

* Svyatoslav Vladimirovich, Prince of Smolensk and Pereyaslav (c. 1080 - 16 March 1114).

* Yaropolk II of Kiev (1082 - 18 February 1139).

* Viacheslav I of Kiev (1083 - 2 February 1154).

The following daughter has been attributed to both the first and the second wife:

* Marina Vladimirovna (d. 1146). Married Leon Diogenes. A pretender to the throne of the Byzantine Empire, claiming to be a son of Romanos IV. Rose to the rank of khan of the Cumans in Ossetia.

The second wife is considered to have been a Byzantine noblewoman. The Primary Chronicle records her date of death on 7 May 1107. However the Chronicle does not mention her name. They had at least six children:

Vladimir II Monomakh

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Vladimir II Monomakh ( Russian: Владимир Мономах; Ukrainian: Володимир Мономах; Christian name Vasiliy, or Basil) (1053–May 19, 1125)—or Vladimir in English — was a famous Velikiy Kniaz (Grand Prince) of Kievan Rus'.

Family

He was the son of Vsevolod I (married in 1046) and princess Anastasia of Byzantium (d. 1067), daughter of Emperor Constantine IX Monomachos, from whom he takes his nickname of Monomakh (Greek: "One who fights alone").

Through his maternal grandmother's family, Vladimir was apparently a descendant of the Argyros and Skleros families of the Byzantine Empire, and thus could have traced his bloodline to several other emperors such as Romanus I and Leo V. These Greek connections played an important role in his foreign affairs.

Eupraxia of Kiev, a sister of Vladimir, became notorious all over Europe for her divorce from the Holy Roman Emperor Henry IV on the grounds that he had attempted a black mass on her naked body.

Furste. Död omkring 1167. Volodar Glebovitj av Minsk var en furste av Minsk tillhörig den så kallade polotskdynastin (eller polovtserna) efter det vitryska staden och furstendömet Polotsk, varifrån den stammade. Han var son till Gleb Vseslavitj av Minsk (död 1119) och Anastasia Jaropolkova. Volodar dog efter 1167, möjligen 1176. Volodars familj hade sedan längre tid varit i strid med storfursten av Kiev, Vladimir Monomach, vilken 1113 (enligt vissa uppgifter 1119) erövrat Minsk från Volodars far. Senare hade polotskdynastins återstående besittningar erövrats av Vladimirs son Mstislav Vladimirovisj och dess medlemmar tvingats i landsflykt till bland annat Konstantinopel. Efter Mstislavs död 1132 föll dock Kiev-riket sakta samman och polotskdynastin kunde återvända till den ryska politiska scenen. Volodar gifte sig den 5 juni 1135 (troligen medan han befann sig i exil i Polen) med Rikissa av Polen, dotter till Boleslav III av Polen och änka efter den danske prinsen och kortvarige svenske kungen Magnus Nilsson av Danmark, vilken året innan stupat i slaget vid Fotevik. Volodar och Rikissa fick dottern Sofia av Minsk, vilken senare gifte sig med Valdemar den store av Danmark. Volodars och Rikissas äktenskap var ett politiskt drag av hennes far riktat mot den dåvarande alliansen mellan Erik Emune av Danmark och Monomachs ättlingar. Sedan ett flertal centrala aktörer i denna konflikt dött och monomachernas ställning i Ryssland kraftigt försvagats föll också grunden för äktenskapet vilket upplöstes i skilsmässa varefter Rikissa gifte om sig med Sverker d.ä. av Sverige. I äldre historieforskning förväxlades Volodar i regel (bland annat av Nikolaj von Baumgarten) med den halvt mytiske furst Vladimir Vsevolodisj av Novgorod.
