Misplaced Pages

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Nederlandse Leeuw (talk | contribs) at 22:23, 27 December 2024 (Really strange accounts. They do not follow any chronological order of events. But this must be a liberal translation as the PVL uses only direct speech. Let me check Thuis 2015.).

Predslava Volodimerovna (Ukrainian: Предслава Володимирівна, romanized: Predslava Volodymyrivna; Polish: Przedsława Włodzimierzówna; Russian: Предслава Владимировна, romanized: Predslava Vladimirovna 981/984 – c. 1040)  was a princess from Kievan Rus', daughter of Volodimer' I of Kiev and Rogned', concubine of Bolesław I the Brave, and sister of Yaroslav the Wise. She is one of the few named women who appear in the Primary Chronicle (PVL).

The two mentions are variations of the same account under the year 1015, in columns 135–136 and 140–141:

• "At this moment, Yaroslav received from Predslava the tidings of their father's death, and he sent word to Gleb that he should not set out, because his father (136) was dead and his brother had been murdered by Svyatopolk."
• "The same night news came from Kiev sent by his sister Predslava to the effect that his father was dead, that Svyatopolk had settled in Kiev after killing Boris, and was now endeavoring to compass the death of Gleb, (141) and she warned Yaroslav to be exceedingly on his guard against Svyatopolk."
