Vsevolod IV Svyatoslavich the Red

Vsevolod Svyatoslavich the Red (died August 1212), eldest son of Sviatoslav Vsevolodovich of Kiev, was prince of Chernigov and held Kiev four times between 1203 and 1212. He campaigned against the Cumans in his youth, yet later allied with them in his wars for Kiev.

He seized Kiev in 1206 and 1208 but was twice driven out by Rurik Rostislavich, and in 1210 retook it with backing from Vsevolod the Big Nest of Vladimir. His son Michael of Chernigov later ruled Kiev.
