Vladimir of Novgorod

St. Sophia Cathedral in Novgorod, 1900

Vladimir of Novgorod ( Russian Владимир Ярославич , Old Icelandic Vladimir Holti , Orthodox baptismal name Basil (?); * 1020 ; † October 4, 1052 in Novgorod ) was prince of Novgorod (1034-1052) and possibly regent of Kiev (1048-1052?) .

He is venerated as a saint in the Russian Orthodox Church ( святой благоверный князь Владимир Новгородский ). His feast day is February 10th .

Life

Vladimir was the first son of Yaroslav the Wise , Grand Duke of Kiev, and his second wife Ingegerd of Sweden . His year of birth was 1020.

In 1034 he was first mentioned as Prince of Novgorod .

In 1042 he probably moved against the Finno-Ugric Jam .

In 1043 he moved with King Harald III. from Norway to the Byzantine Empire . In 1044 he possibly conquered the city of Chersonese there . Nordic and Byzantine sources also reported on these events. Georgios Kedrenos called him haughty towards the Byzantines.

In 1045 his parents were in Novgorod. It is possible that the construction of St. Sophia Cathedral in Novgorod began at this time . This was inaugurated on September 14, 1052. Vladimir also had a stone fortress built in Novgorod.

The Nikon Chronicle wrote that he had been Grand Duke of Kiev for four years .

Vladimir died on October 4, 1052. He is buried in a sarcophagus in the St. Sophia Cathedral in Novgorod.

In 1439 Archbishop Euphymius II of Novgorod announced his veneration as a saint, as did that of Anna of Novgorod .

Marriages and offspring

There is no record of a wife's name. Possibly it was Oda , daughter of Count Leopold von Stade .

One son is known

Rostislav, Prince of Tmutarakan .

Due to the early death of Vladimir, his descendants were not entitled to the Grand Duchy of Kiev ("isgoj"). Rostislav conquered the principality of Tmutarakan, whose descendants the principality of Halitsch (until 1199).
