Biography

Browning-5288 12:24, 30 September 2021 (UTC)This is a work in progress and some Russian sources and words will be translated into English gradually

Vladimir Sviatoslavich the Great (Old East Slavic: Володимѣръ Свѧтославичь, Old Norse as Valdamarr Sveinaldsson, Russian: Влади́мир, Vladimir, Ukrainian: Володимир, Volodymyr, Belarusian: Уладзiмiр, Uladzimir; c. 958 – 15 July 1015, Berestove) was a prince of Novgorod, grand prince of Kiev, and ruler of Kievan Rus' from 980 to 1015.[1]

Vladimir Svayatoslavich was born about 0961. The date of his birth is uncertain only being based on 'The Primary Chronicle' dating from the 12th century and oral tradition as well as using the birth of his eldest son Вышеслав in 977 to estimate the date of birth.

A page from 'Thietmar's Chronicle'

Vladimir was the son of Sviatoslav Igorevich (Святослав Игоревич) and his concubine Малушa who was said to be a servant in his household and in some Russian and English biographies of the Rurikids she is described as a ключницa (kluchnitsa) a higher level servant/key keeper of the household.[2] Vladimir's birthplace may have been the village of Будутин (Budutin/Budyatin), Kievan Rus[3] a theory proposed by the Russian historian and paleographer Д. И. Прозоровский (D. I. Prozorovsky 1820-1894)



Marriages

Up to the time of his conversion to Christianity Valdimer was known to have had numerous liaisons or pagan marriages and was said by the chroniclist Thietmar of Merseburg to be a fornicator maximus[4]

1st wife may have been (Олава/Аллогия) Olava/Alloga, a Czech woman, whether they actually married is uncertain and she may well have been a concubine/mistress. They had a son Vyshyslav (Вышеслав) born about 977, Prince of Novgorod who died before his father.



Death

Research Notes

Владимир I Святославич (Василий) (ок. 948 - 15.07.1015) (кол. IV), князь Новгородский (969 - 977), Великий князь Киевский (980 - 1015). Источники о женах и детях Владимира крайне противоречивы. Упоминаются жены Владимира: 1. Олава (Аллогия), варяжская жена, 2. с 977 по 986 гг. Рогнеда Рогволдовна (в монашестве Анастасия) (? - 1000), дочь Рогволда Полоцкого (? - 977), 3. греческая монахиня (? - 999), вдова Ярополка I Святославича с 980 года (наложница), 4. Малфрида Богемская (? - 1000), возможно, внучка Оттона I (912 - 7.5.973), германского короля (936 - 973), императора Священной Римской империи (962 - 973), 5. Адиль (Адилия, Аделия, Ольга), "чехиня", 6. "болгарыня" Милолика, 7. с 988 года Анна Византийская (? - 1011) (по некоторым данным дата рождения 13.3.963, дата смерти оспаривается, называются по летописям 6502, 6509, 6510 и 6519 гг.). Возможное родство Анны: 1. сестра императоров Византии Василия II Болгаробойцы и Константина VIII, 2. дочь болгарского царя Петра I и византийской царевны, внучки Романа I Лакапина, императора Византии, 3. Родственица (не сестра) Василия II Болгаробойцы и Константина VIII. Екатерина II определяет жен и детей таким образом: от Олавы - Вышеслав; от Рогнеды - Изяслав, Ярослав, Всеволод, Предслава, Премислава; от Малфриды - Вячеслав; от Адили - Святослав, Мстислав, Станислав; от Анны - Мария, от Милолики - Борис и Глеб. Судислава и Позвизда Екатерина II определяет как племянников Владимира - сыновей Олега Древлянского. В древних источниках сыновья Владимира: Изяслав, Мстислав, Ярослав, Всеволод и две дочери - от Рогнеды; Святополк - от греческой монахини; Вышеслав - от Адили, Святослав и Мстислав (еще раз!) - "от другое"(?); Борис и Глеб - от Милолики. Ряд ученых Бориса и Глеба (Татищев, Соловьев) считают детьми Анны. В 1000 (1010) году в летописи упоминается: по смерти Вышеслава Владимир сажает своих сыновей: Ярослава - в Новгороде, Святослава - Овруче, Вячеслава - в Чернигове; Мстислава - в Тмуторокани, Всеволода - во Владимире Волынском, Станислава - в Смоленске, Судислава - во Пскове (?). Малолетнему Борису прочится Ростов, а грудному еще Глебу - Муром. С Вячеславом и Святославом уезжают их матери Малфрида и Адиль


Его бабка Ольга крестилась еще в 957 году (по другим сведениям, даже раньше: в 955 или в 946 году).

St. Volodymyr’s Cathedral

Viewable at: http://kiev.com/sights/view/st.-volodymyrs-cathedral

The St. Vladimir Cathedral, entirely financed by charitable donations, was built between 1862 and 1882. The solemn dedication of the cathedral took place in the presence of Nicolas II and his wife, on August 20, 1896.

Nowadays, Saint Vladimir is the most important religious building of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. It's the headquarters of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (Kiev Patriarchate) where the frequently celebrated services differ in their solemnity.

The frescoes and paintings are the works of the most famous Russian artists of the late nineteenth century: V. Vasnetsov, M. Vruebel, M. Nesterov, and many more.

I wonder if perhaps the anglicized spelling of his name should follow the Ukrainian pattern, and be Volodymyr?

My 30th Great-grandfather Vladimir would be heartbroken at what is happening in his homeland today in 2022...

Vladimirovna (van Kiev) van Saksen-Billung is possibly his daughter according to Medieval Lands. Please link accordingly.

Dear PMs I shall be working on this profile of behalf of The Medieval Project. It’s going to take a bit of time. I have removed the name Киевский as this refers to being of a Kiev and is not a surname. The LNAB should be Рюрикович (Russian) Rurikovich (English) rather than Рюриковичи which is a plural form of the surname.

Please bear with me whilst names are being sorted out as there will also need to be some changes to the LNAB of other associated profiles. Any queries please contact me.

Regards, Ann

My personal preference is always to use the family name because in a regime, there can be generations of place names (in this case, Kiev), and that makes the identity of the person harder to pin down.

There is a pending merge on this profile. Question: should the Kiev LNAB be retained or would it be better to change it to ?????????? before merging?

Thank you!

Van Rusland-1 and Kiev-2 appear to represent the same person because: Father, grandparents and great-grandfather are all duplicates.
There is a duplicate profile for Vladimir here: Van_Rusland-1. They need to be merged; ditto father and grandparents, etc.

Wolodomir I Swietoslawitz got first Newgart; he overcame his brother, and was chosen the first Czar. He built the town of Wolodimir, where he fixed his Seat. He was first a pagan idolater, but was converted to Christ, and joined those of the Greek Church and when baptized was called Basilius 990. Others say 999. He died 1005.
