User:Nederlandse Leeuw/Lists of Rus' princes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

These are lists of Rus' princes. It only includes lists of people who have been identified as princes from Kievan Rus', "Rus' princes" (see also Rus' people and knyaz), or whose realms have been identified as "Rus' principalities", in English-language scholarly literature.

The Kyivan Rus' and its principalities (862-1240)

[edit]
Personal seal of Yaroslav the Wise

The Rurikids were descendants of Rurik (Ukrainian: Рюрик) (Hrørekr), a Varangian pagan konung or chieftain, who according to the Primary Chronicle was invited to rule Novgorod in 862 and who came to become the ruler of the Northern Slavic tribes of the (Krivchians and Slovene) as well as the Finnish tribes (Meria, Chud and Ves). Later his son or grandson, Prince Ihor, became the Prince of separate Kyivan territories to the south beginning the rule of the Riurykide dynasty of Kyivan Rus. The existence of Rurik is a point of contention for historians, P. Kovaletsky and Omeljan Pritsak believe that Rurik was the same person as Hroereckr (Rorik), the 9th century Norse king of Jutland and Frisia and that pervasive myths and legends about him formed the basis for the primary chroniclers. Alternatively, Alexsei Shakmatov accepts the Primary Chronicle's account as factual and Rurik is a historic being.[1]

Heiresses of the realm, and the true owners of power, Maria and Euphemia (aunt and niece) divided Halych-Volhynia in halves, and ruled them with their respective co-rulers: Maria ruled with her son, and Euphemia with her husband.

It's also possible that, instad of an annexation, this reign could be interpreted as a regency for Briacheslav II, son of this Sviatoslav's cousin and Vasilko II.
