Roman I of Kiev

Roman Rostislavich (c. 1132–1180), eldest son of Rostislav Mstislavich, joined Andrei Bogolyubsky's sack of Kiev in 1169, and in 1171 Andrei made him grand prince. Two years later Andrei forced him back to Smolensk for shielding boyars suspected of murdering Gleb.

After Andrei's death in 1174 Roman returned to Kiev as an independent ruler. He lost the city to Sviatoslav of Chernigov in 1176, held Novgorod in 1179, and died in Smolensk in 1180, leaving a son, Mstislav III.
