Marriage |
- Sviatopolk married firstly a Bohemian princess (P?emyslid dynasty), probably a daughter of Duke Spytihn?v 2. They had 3 children:
1. Zbyslava, married to king Boleslaw III of Poland on November 15, 1102.
2. Predslava, married to Prince Álmos of Hungary on August 21, 1104. Her fate is less known.
3. Iaroslav (died 1123), Prince of Volynia and Turov was married 3 times - to the Hungarian-Polish Sophia (daughter of W?adys?aw I Herman and his second wife Judith of Swabia), and Kievan princesses. In consequence of Iaroslav's early death, his descendants forfeited any right to the Kievan throne and had to content themselves with Turov and Pinsk.
Secondly, in 1094 Sviatopolk married a daughter of Tugorkhan of the Kypchaks, Olena. They had 4 children:
4. Anna (died 1136), married to Sviatoslav Davydych from Chernihiv who took monastic vows upon her death and later became Saint Nikolai Svyatoslav Davydych of Chernihiv.
5. Maria, married Piotr W?ostowic, castellan of Wroc?aw and Polish palatine.
6. Bryachislav (1104–1127), possibly dethroned Iaroslav as the Prince of Turov (1118–1123) in 1118.
7. Iziaslav (died 1127), possibly the Prince of Turov in 1123.
In 1104, Sviatopolk would marry for a third time to Barbara Komnena.
Some sources claim Sviatopolk had an out-of-wedlock son, Mstislav, who ruled Novgorod-Seversk from 1095 to 1097 and later Volyn (1097–1099). Mstislav later was murdered in Volodymyr-Volynski. [1]
