Generation Three
Svyatoslav I, Grand Prince of Kiev
Born circa 942
Acceded in 945
Died in 972, ambushed and killed.
Svyatoslav was only about three years old when his father Igor was murdered in 945, hence his mother St. Olga acted as Regent of Kiev until 964. Olga's first official act was to wreak vengeance on the Drevlanes who had murdered her husband by besieging and burning their town of Korosten. In 957 Olga went with a large retinue to Constantinople, accepted Christianity, and received baptism.
In 964, Svyatoslav took over the government, although his mother continued to administer home affairs until her death in 970. Svyatoslav led Kievan Rus's military conquest of the Bulgars, responding to attacks by the Khazar tribe. He in turn was ambushed and killed by Byzantines from Pecheneg in the south, who, according to legend, converted Svyatoslav's skull into a drinking vessel.
Svyatoslav married Malousha and they had a son:
St. Vladimir the Great, Grand Prince of Kiev

Yaropolk I, Grand Prince of Kiev, 972 - 978; his son,
