Rogvolod

Rogvolod

Rogvolod ( _be. Рагвалод, Rahvalod; _ru. Рогволод, Rogvolod; c. 920 - 978) was first chronicled prince of Polatsk (945 - 978). In the Russian Primary Chronicle, he is known as Рогъволодъ, probably a slavicized version of the Old Norse name "Ragnvald". He came from overseas (i.e., from Scandinavia) and established himself at Polatsk in the mid-10th century. According to the , Vladimir the Great sought an alliance with him in 980 by marrying his daughter Rogneda, but she insultingly refused, prompting Vladimir to attack Rogvolod and his sons and kill them, after which he forcibly took Rogneda as his wife.
