Vladimir of Novgorod

Vladimir Yaroslavich (1020–1052) was prince of Novgorod from 1036 until his death. The eldest son of Yaroslav the Wise of Kiev by Ingegerd of Sweden, in 1043 he led the last Rus' expedition against Byzantium, where a storm wrecked much of his fleet, yet he defeated its pursuers.

He founded Novgorod's Cathedral of St Sophia in 1045 and was buried there when he died in 1052, two years before his father. Venerated as Saint Vladimir, he left a son Rostislav, whose line ruled Halych until 1199.
