Mstislav I Vladimirovich the Great (Russian: ???????? ???????????? ???????, 
Ukrainian: ???????? ????????????? ???????, Belarusian: ???????? 
????????????? ??????) (June 1, 1076, Turov – April 14, 1132, Kiev) was the Grand 
Prince of Kiev (1125–1132), the eldest son of Vladimir II Monomakh by Gytha of 
Wessex.[1] He figures prominently in the Norse Sagas under the name Harald, taken 
to allude to his grandfather, Harold II of England. Mstislav's Christian name was 
Theodore.
Biography[edit]

As his father's future successor, Mstislav reigned in Novgorod the Great from 1088–93 
and (after a brief stint at Rostov) from 1095–1117. Thereafter he was Monomakh's co-
ruler in Belgorod Kievsky, and inherited the Kievan throne after his death. He built 
numerous churches in Novgorod, of which St. Nicholas Cathedral (1113)[2] and the 
cathedral of St Anthony Cloister (1117) survive to the present day. Later, he would 
also erect important churches in Kiev, notably his family sepulchre at Berestovo and 
the church of Our Lady at Podil.

Novgorod, contains 12th-century frescoes depicting his illustrious family
Mstislav's life was spent in constant warfare with Cumans (1093, 1107, 1111, 1129), 
Estonians (1111, 1113, 1116, 1130), Lithuanians (1131), and the princedom of Polotsk 
(1127, 1129). In 1096, he defeated his uncle Oleg of Chernigov on the Koloksha 
River, thereby laying foundation for the centuries of enmity between his and Oleg's 
descendants. Mstislav was the last ruler of united Rus, and upon his death, as the 
chronicler put it, "the land of Rus was torn apart".

In 1095, Mstislav wed Princess Christina Ingesdotter of Sweden, daughter of King 
Inge I of Sweden.[3] They had many children:
1.Ingeborg of Kiev, married Canute Lavard of Jutland, and was mother to Valdemar I 
of Denmark
2.Malmfred, married (1) Sigurd I of Norway; (2) Eric II of Denmark
3.Eupraxia, married Alexius Comnenus, son of John II Comnenus
4.Vsevolod of Novgorod and Pskov
5.Maria, married Vsevolod II of Kiev
6.Iziaslav II of Kiev
7.Rostislav of Kiev
8.Sviatopolk of Pskov
9.Rogneda, married Yaroslav of Volinya
10.Xenia, married Briachislav of Izyaslawl

Christine died on January 18, 1122; later that year Mstislav married again, to Ljubava 
Saviditsch, the daughter of Dmitry Saviditsch, a nobleman of Novgorod. Their children 
were:
1.Vladimir III Mstislavich (1132–1171)
2.Euphrosyne of Kiev, (c. 1130 – c. 1193) married King Géza II of Hungary in 1146.

Through Euphrosyne, Mstislav is an ancestor of both Philippa of Hainault and King 
Edward III of England, hence of all subsequent English and British monarchs. Through 
his mother Gytha, he is part of a link between Harold II of England and the modern 
line of English kings founded by William the Conqueror, who deposed him.
