ROGVOLOD BORISOVICH (? - after 1171)

 
   
 

He was appanage prince of Drutsk around 1159. He was prince at Polotsk before 1151 and again after 1160. His father was Boris Vsyeslavich, prince of Drutsk. Rogvolod married around 1143-4 with the daughter of Izyaslav II Mstislavich, prince of Kyiv. Their sons were Gleb, appanage prince of Drutsk; Boris, and Vsyeslav, prince of Drutsk. (According to one researcher they may also have had a son, Rostislav. It is interesting that he married one of Mstislav Vladimirovich's grand daughters, when his brother, Bryacheslav had married one of Mstislav's daughters. Rogvolod was driven out of Polotsk in 1151 by his cousin, Rostislav Glebovich but managed to return in 1160. But in 1161 he was forced out again, this time by the princes of Minsk, whereupon he returned to his appanage town, Drutsk. The family is shown on this chart.
