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).
See also: Textual variants in the Primary Chronicle § 135–141.16The 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 father's death, and Yaroslav sent to Gleb, saying: 'Do not set out, your father (136) has died and your brother has been murdered by Svyatopolk."
- "The same night news came from Kiev sent by his sister Predslava: "Your father has died and Svyatopolk settled in Kiev. He has killed Boris, and has sent against Gleb. (141) Be exceedingly on your guard against him." (In Ipa, Xle and Rad: "settled in Kiev, having sent to kill Boris and Gleb.")
