Rostislav Mikhailovich (Hungarian: Rosztyiszláv,[1] Bulgarian and Ukrainian: Ростислав Михайлович) (after 1210[2] / c. 1225 – 1262)[3] was a Rurikid prince and a dignitary in the Kingdom of Hungary.[1]
He was prince of Novgorod (1230), of Halych (1236–1237, 1241–1242), of Lutsk (1240), and of Chernigov (1241–1242).[2] When he could not strengthen his rule in Halych, he went to the court of King Béla IV of Hungary, and married the king's daughter, Anna.[1]
He was the Ban of Slavonia (1247–1248), and later he became the first Duke of Macsó (after 1248–1262), and thus he governed the southern parts of the kingdom.[1] In 1257, he occupied Vidin and thenceforward he styled himself Tsar of Bulgaria.[4]
