Vsevolod II of Kiev

Vsevolod II Olgovich (c. 1094–1146), son of Oleg of Chernigov, ruled Chernigov from 1127 and Kiev from 1139. After years of strife with Yaropolk II, he drove Yaropolk's brother Viacheslav from Kiev and seized the throne in 1139.

Married to a daughter of Mstislav the Great, he made the Kievans swear the cross to his brother Igor as his heir. He died a monk named Gavriil on 1 August 1146, and Kiev rose against Igor.
