Note: he is shown as
Svyatoslav III along with Svyatoslav Vsevolodovich of Kyiv because this one
ruled Vladimir and the other ruled Kyiv. Or some lists show him as Svyatoslav I
or Svyatoslav Suzdalski - this one was baptized GabrielHe was born about
1196 to Vsyevolod III Yur'yevich Bol'shoye Gnezdo,
great prince of Vladimir and Vsyevolod's first wife Maria Shvarnovna, Ossetian
princess. He was prince of Pereyaslavl about 1228-1233; and prince of Yur'yev
about 1212-13 to 1237; and appanage prince of Suzdal 1238-1247-8; and grand
prince of Vladimir 1246-48. He married probably Yevdokia, daughter of
David Yur'yevich, appanage prince of Murom. His son
was Dmitri, appanage prince of Yur'yev. The family
is shown on this chart. The Yur'yev-Pol'ski
principality was carved out of the Vladimir-Suzdal' lands at the end of 1212 or
start of 1213 for Svyatoslav. After the desctuction of Rus by the Tatars the
principality lost its independence again and was part of Vladimir. About 1248
Yur'yev again became a udel capital and the principality was quite small around
its main river the Roksha. In the 14th century it was not important
politically. Usually the descendents of Svyatoslav Vsyevolodovich served with
the Vladimir princes. About 1340 after the death of prince Ivan Yaroslavich
without children, Yur'yev again returned to the Vladimir grand principality and
then to Moscow.
