#Всеволодъ Ꙗрославичь

[littlehistorian]

Vsevolod I Yaroslavich (1030-1093) was Grand Prince of Kiev from 1078 until his death in 1093. He was also Prince of Pereyaslavl from 1054 to 1073 and Prince of Chernigov from 1073 to 1078 (reigning in particular after his father's death over the towns of Rostov-on-Don and Suzdal).

Vsevolod spoke five foreign languages, according to Vladimir Monomach's Autobiography. Historian George Vernadsky believes that these probably included Greek and Cuman, because of the nationality of his two wives, and that he likely spoke Latin, Norse, and Ossetian. He lost most of his battles; his eldest son, Vladimir Monomakh, a grand and famous warrior, did most of the fighting for his father. The last years of his reign were clouded by grave illness, and Vladimir Monomakh presided over the government.
