[littlehistorian]

Iziaslav I Yaroslavich (1024-1078) was Prince of Turov and Grand Prince of Kiev (1054–1068; 1069–1073; 1077–1078).

Iziaslav was the oldest son of Yaroslav I the Wise by his second wife Ingigerd Olafsdottir. He succeeded his father, after Yaroslav's oldest child, Vladimir (the only child by Yaroslav's first wife), had predeceased his father. Iziaslav was one of the authors of the Pravda of Yaroslav's Descendants, a part of the first legal code of the Russkaya Pravda.

He is also credited with the foundation of the Kiev Pechersk Monastery. Prince Iziaslav I of Kiev ceded the whole mountain to Antonite monks who founded a monastery built by architects from Constantinople.
