Vasylko Rostyslavych

Vasylko Rostyslavych, Vasilko Rostislavich (Ukrainian: Василько Ростиславич, born around 1066, died in 1124) was a Rus' prince and member of the Rurik dynasty. He was the first Prince of Terebovl' from 1092.[1] His Byzantine-style blinding was very unusual among the Rurik dynasty.[2]

In this name that follows Eastern Slavic naming conventions, the patronymic is Rostislavich.

Life

He was the third son of Rostislav Vladimirovich, Prince of Tmutarakan.[3] The historian Martin Dimnik writes that Vasylko's mother was Lanka, a daughter of King Béla I of Hungary.[4]

The Blinding of Vasylko. Miniature of Radzivil chronicle of the 15th century

In November 1097 Volhynian Prince Davyd Igorevich and Prince Svyatopolk II Izyaslavich of Kiev captured and blinded Vasilko Rostislavich, whom Svyatopolk had tricked into coming to Kiev. Thus, the agreements reached at an earlier meeting of the princes at the Council of Liubech were broken and war ensued.
