The Kyivan Rus' and its principalities (862-1240) edit

 
Personal seal of Yaroslav the Wise

The Rurikids were descendants of Rurik (Ukrainian: Рюрик) (Hrørekr), a Varangian pagan konung or chieftain, who according to the Primary Chronicle was invited to rule Novgorod in 862 and who came to become the ruler of the Northern Slavic tribes of the (Krivchians and Slovene) as well as the Finnish tribes (Meria, Chud and Ves). Later his son or grandson, Prince Ihor, became the Prince of separate Kyivan territories to the south beginning the rule of the Riurykide dynasty of Kyivan Rus. The existence of Rurik is a point of contention for historians, P. Kovaletsky and Omeljan Pritsak believe that Rurik was the same person as Hroereckr (Rorik), the 9th century Norse king of Jutland and Frisia and that pervasive myths and legends about him formed the basis for the primary chroniclers. Alternatively, Alexsei Shakmatov accepts the Primary Chronicle's account as factual and Rurik is a historic being.[1]

In March 1169, a coalition of native princes led by the Grand Prince of Vladimir-SuzdalAndrey Bogolyubsky — sacked Kyiv and forced the ruling prince — Mstislav II — to flee to Volhynia. Andrei appointed his brother — Gleb of Kyiv — as Prince of Kiev while Andrei himself continued to rule his realm from Vladimir on Klyazma. From that time onwards, north-eastern Rus', which was centered on the city of Vladimir, became one of the most influential Rus' lands. In the south-west, the Principality (later the kingdom) of Galicia-Volhynia began to emerge as the local successor to Kyiv.

Heiresses of the realm, and the true owners of power, Maria and Euphemia (aunt and niece) divided Halych-Volhynia in halves, and ruled them with their respective co-rulers: Maria ruled with her son, and Euphemia with her husband.

It's also possible that, instad of an annexation, this reign could be interpreted as a regency for Briacheslav II, son of this Sviatoslav's cousin and Vasilko II.
