Princess Yaropolkovna of Minsk

Death of the wife of Gleb Vseslavich of Minsk, illumination in the Tsar Book (16th century).

Princess Yaropolkovna of Minsk[a] (1074 – 3 January 1158[5]) was the daughter of prince Yaropolk Iziaslavich of Volhynia and Kunigunde von Orlamünde; the princess-consort of Gleb Vseslavich of Minsk (c. 1090–1118); and, according to some scholarly interpretations, princess regnant of Minsk for about 40 years after her husband's death (c. 1119–1158).[6][7]

According to one single unreliable source from the late 17th century, the Kievan Synopsis by Innokentii Gizel', her first name or Christian name was "Anastasia";[8] therefore, some earlier historians have called her "Anastasia Yaropolkovna", or "Anastasia of Minsk".[9] Many modern historians no longer accept that as her probable first or Christian name, and instead call her "Gleb of Minsk's widow", "the Widow Princess of Minsk", or "unknown Yaropolkovna".[10][11][7]
