Life
His year of birth is unknown. He was first mentioned in a chronicle in 1071 when he defeated Vseslav von Polotsk at Golotitschesk.
In 1073 he and his father were expelled from the Principality of Kiev by parts of the Kiev population and his uncles. Both fled to the west, but were turned away by King Henry IV . Pope Gregory VII accepted them, Isjaslav submitted to him, gave Kiev to him and received it back as an apostolic fief. Jaropolk was also crowned King of the Rus by the Apostolic See.
In 1076 both returned to Kiev, Yaropolk received the principality of Vyshgorod.
Prince of Volhynia and Turov
When Yaropolk's father fell in 1078, the title of Grand Duke of Kiev went to his brother Vsevolod I. Yaropolk got the partial principalities of Volhynia and Turow . During this time there were repeated battles with the Rostislavs. In 1084 they split off the Principality of Peremyschl and expelled Jaropolk from Vladimir (Volhynia) . In 1086 he returned there with the help of Wsewolid.
In winter 1086 or 1087, after returning from Poland, he was murdered near Zvenigorod by his own follower.
Jaropolk is buried in Kiev, in the Dmitry Monastery in St. Peter's Church.
