Vseslav Bryachislavich[a] (c. 1029 – 24 April 1101; also known as Vseslav the Sorcerer or Vseslav the Seer) was Prince of Polotsk (1044–1101) and Grand Prince of Kiev (1068–1069).[1][2] Together with Rostislav Vladimirovich and voivode Vyshata, he created a coalition against the Yaroslaviches' triumvirate. Polotsk's Cathedral of Holy Wisdom, completed in the mid-11th century, is one of the most enduring monuments from his reign and the oldest stone building in Belarus.[3]
