He was prince of Polotsk. His father was
Vsyeslav Bryachislavich, prince of Polotsk and usurper
at Kyiv. His sons were Vyacheslav;
David, prince of Polotsk; Vasil'ko, prince of Polotsk; and he had two daughters,
possibly named Gorislava-Yevdokia and Pryedslava. The family is shown on this
chart.
In 1129 he was forced by Mstislav Vladimirovich of
Kyiv into exile at Byzantium. He returned in 1140. During his exile, when
Mstislav died in 1132, Svyatoslav's son, Vasil'ko, was called by the Polotsk
magnates to be the prince.
