Iziaslav III of Kiev

Iziaslav Davidovich (died 1161), a son of Davyd of Chernigov, was prince of Starodub and Chernigov before he thrice seized the Kievan throne. After Iziaslav Mstislavich died in 1154 he took Kiev with Cuman help, but yielded it to Yuri Dolgorukiy, returning as grand prince after Yuri's death in 1157.

Driven out in 1158 for sheltering a fugitive, he crossed the frozen Dnieper with Cumans and retook Kiev by surprise in February 1161, only to be mortally wounded besieging Rostislav at Belgorod. He died on 6 March 1161.
