Notes par Vladimir van Kiev

VLADIMIR Sviatoslavich, son of SVIATOSLAV I Grand Prince of Kiev & his mistress Malusha [Malfred] ([960]-Berestov 15 Jul 1015).  The Primary Chronicle names Yaropolk, Oleg and Vladimir as grandsons of Olga[78].  The Primary Chronicle names Malusha, stewardess of Olga and sister of Dobrinya, as mother of Sviatoslav's son Vladimir, when recording that his father sent him to Novgorod in 970 with his maternal uncle after the inhabitants had demanded a prince of their own[79].  After the death of his half-brother Oleg, Vladimir fled "beyond the seas" and governors were assigned to Novgorod.  With support mustered in Scandinavia, Vladimir regained control of Novgorod.  He captured Polotsk after killing Rogvolod Prince of Polotsk, who had refused Vladimir's offer to marry his daughter (whom he married anyway)[80].  He then moved southwards towards Kiev to attack his half-brother Iaropolk, who fled to Rodnia but was murdered when he returned to Kiev to negotiate with Vladimir.  He thereby succeeded in [980] as VLADIMIR I "Velikiy/the Great" Grand Prince of Kiev.  In 981, Vladimir invaded Polish territory and conquered Czerwień, "Peremyshl" and other cities[81].  After actively promoting the worship of pagan idols, he was baptised in [987/88] as part of an agreement to help Emperor Basileios II to defeat a rebellion.  He increased his own personal prestige by marrying the emperor's sister and imposed Christianity on his people by force.  He sought to rule his diverse territories by nominating his various sons to rule in different towns, although at the end of his reign he was faced with the rebellions of his son Iaroslav and his adopted son Sviatopolk.  Vladimir died while preparing for war with Novgorod following the suspension of payment of tribute by his son Iaroslav[82].  Vladimir was described as "fornicator immensus et crudelis" by Thietmar[83].  According to the Primary Chronicle, Vladimir had 300 concubines at Vyshgorod, 300 at Belgorod and 200 at Berestovo[84].  The Primary Chronicle records the death of Vladimir at Berestovo 15 Jul 1015[85].  He was later esteemed to be a saint, his feast day being 15 July. 

m firstly ([977], divorced 986) as her second husband, ROGNED of Polotsk, widow of --- Jarl in Sweden, daughter of ROGVOLOD Prince of Polotsk & his wife --- ([956]-[998/1000]).  The Primary Chronicle names Rogned, daughter of Rogvolod Prince of Polotsk, recording that she at first refused to marry Vladimir, preferring his half-brother Yaropolk[86].  She became a nun in [989].  The Primary Chronicle records the death of Rogned in [998/1000][87]. 

m secondly (Khersones 988) ANNA of Byzantium, daughter of Emperor ROMANOS II & his second wife Theophano [née Anastasia] (13 Mar 963-[1008/11] or [1022], bur Kiev, church of the Palace).  Cedrenus records that "filiam…Annæ" was born two days before the death of Emperor Romanos II[88].  The Primary Chronicle names Anna, sister of Emperors Basil and Constantine, recording that her brothers agreed to her marriage to Vladimir if he accepted baptism, and her arrival and marriage at “Kherson”[89].  An earlier passage in the same source identifies the place as “Kherson, a Greek city”[90].  This suggests that the place in question was the Greek colony of Khersones, west of Sebastopol in Crimea[91].  Zonaras records that "Uladimero ducem [Russorum]" married "sorore Anna" (referring to Basileios and Konstantinos)[92].  The marriage marked the start of increased influence for the Greek Orthodox church in Russia, as the new Russian church reported to the Patriarch of Constantinople.  The sources are contradictory regarding the dating of Anna´s death.  The Primary Chronicle records the death of Anna wife of Vladimir in [1008/11][93].  Cedrenus records that "Anna imperatoris sorore" died "in Rossia", adding that her husband had already died, in a passage following the record of events dated to [1022], adding that "Chrysochir quidam Bladimeri cognatus" (not yet identified) sailed for Constantinople after she died but was defeated and killed at Lemnos by "Davido Achridensi Sami præfecto ac Nicephoro Cabasila duce Thessalonicæ"[94]. 

m thirdly (after 1011) [ADELIA] [von Öhningen, daughter of KONRAD Duke of Swabia & his wife Richlind ---] (-after 14 Aug 1018).  The Genealogia Welforum refers to the four daughters of "Chuno comes [et] filia Ottonis Magni imperatoris", specifying that the third (unnamed) married "regi Rugorum"[95].  The Historia Welforum refers to the four daughters of "Couno comes" and "filia Ottonis magnis imperatoris…Richlint", specifying that they married "una Roudolfo isti [=Welforum], alia cuidam de Rinveldin, parenti Zaringiorum, tercia regie Rugiorum, quarta comiti de Diezon"[96].  As noted in the document SWABIA DUKES, these two sources are unreliable in their recording of the sons of Konrad I Duke of Swabia, so should not be assumed to be any more precise in recording his daughters.  The primary source which confirms her name has not yet been identified. 

Mistress (1): ---, wife of IAROPOLK Sviatoslavich, daughter of ---.  The Primary Chronicle records that Vladimir, later Grand Prince of Kiev, had intercourse with his brother's [Yaropolk's] wife "a Greek woman"[97]. 

Mistress (2): OLAVA, a Czech concubine.  The primary source which confirms her name and relationship with Vladimir has not yet been identified.  

Mistresses (3) to (9): ---.  The names of the other mistresses of Grand Prince Vladimir are not known. 

Grand Prince Vladimir & his first wife had six children:
IZIASLAV Vladimirovich (-1001). 
IAROSLAV Vladimirovich ([978]-20 Feb 1054).
MSTISLAV Vladimirovich "the Brave" (978-[1034/36]
VSEVOLOD Vladimirovich (-1015).
2 x daughter Nn (-after 1018).
