Princess Yaropolkovna Of Minsk
Princess Yaropolkovna of Minsk (1074 – 3 January 1158) was the daughter of prince Yaropolk Iziaslavich of Volhynia and Kunigunde von Orlamünde; the princess-consort of Gleb Vseslavich of Minsk ( 1090–1118); and, according to some scholarly interpretations, princess regnant of Minsk for about 40 years after her husband's death ( 1119–1158). According to one single unreliable source from the late 17th century, the ''Kievan Synopsis'' by Innokentii Gizel', her first name or Christian name was "Anastasia"; therefore, some earlier historians have called her "Anastasia Yaropolkovna", or "Anastasia of Minsk". Many modern historians no longer accept that as her probable first or Christian name, and instead call her "Gleb of Minsk's widow", "the Widow Princess of Minsk", or "unknown Yaropolkovna". Biography Encomium The sources mention this woman only once directly – in the ''Kievan Chronicle'', on the occasion of her death at age 84, ''sub anno'' 1158, where she is descri ...

Following the death of Vseslav of Polotsk in 1101, Polotsk was divided into six smaller principalities each to be inherited by one of his six surviving sons. Vseslav's second-born son, Sviatoslav Vseslavich inherited the lands surrounding Vitebsk and started the Vitebsk branch of the princes of Polotsk.
