Hvem giftet seg med Rogneda of Polotsk?

Rogneda or Rogned (Church Slavonic: Рогънѣдь, romanized: Rogŭnědĭ; Christian name: Anastasia; c. 960 – c. 1000), also known as Ragnhild (Ragnheiðr), is a person mentioned in the Primary Chronicle as having been a princess of Polotsk, the daughter of Rogvolod (Ragnvald), who came from Scandinavia and established himself at Polotsk in the mid-10th century. Vladimir the Great is narrated as having killed her father and taking her as one of his wives.

In a closely related, but separate story in the Suzdalian Chronicle, the daughter of Rogvolod of Polotsk is called Gorislava, and Vladimir rapes her in front of her parents before killing her father and taking her as a wife, after which Gorislava attempts to kill Vladimir in revenge.

Valdemar den hellige eller Valdemar den store (ca. 956–1015) var storfyrste av Kyiv.

Med ambisjonen om å forene folket i Kyivriket ville storfyrst Valdemar gi dem en felles religion. Han prøvde å slå sammen alle de hedenske gudene i riket til en religion, men det mislyktes og han lot seg døpe i 988 og dermed ble den gresk-ortodokse kirken etablert i landet. Valdemar kristnet da hele Kyivriket. Han giftet seg i 989 med Anna av Bysants.
