Talk:Rikissa of Poland

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

According to English and Swedish (look also sv:Sofia av Minsk) articles the second husband of Rikissa was one of the following persons

  1. Vladimir of Galich
  2. Vsevolod of Minsk
  3. Volodar of Minsk
  4. Vladimir Vsevolodich of Novgorod

in the time interval 1134-1150s/60s.

I don't know where the first name comes from but he at least existed and is known as Vladimirko Volodarevich, Prince of Galich (-1154) ([1] in Russian), this info is taken most probably from Пчелов Е.В. Рюриковичи. История династии. М., 2001.

Vsevolod Glebovich of Minsk (-1159) and Volodar Glebovich of Minsk (-1167) were brothers ruling the principality one after another. ([2] in Russian).

Vladimir Vsevolodovich is absent in the list of Novgorodian princes ([3] in Russian). Maybe he wasn't a Prince (knyaz himself, but a son of a Prince (knyazhich)

The only source that I'have seen is "De russiske ægteskaber. Dynasti- og alliancepolitik i 1130ernes danske borgerkrig" in Danish (here is its summary in English) and it supports the third "pretender" :), i.e. Volodar of Minsk. Has anyone seen any other source? ru:User:Neko.
