many pagan wives and concubines. listed are: (1) Adlaga, (2) Alava, (3) 989
Rognoda, dau of Roguar Princ of Polotz, d.1002, (4) Malfrida, a Bohemian,
d.1002, (5) a Greek, widow of his brother Jaropolk, (6) n.n. a Bulgarian, (7)
989 Anna, dau of the Basilur Romanor, d.1011, (8) after 1011 N.N. dau of Count
Kunza of Ohningen [Ref: Moriarty Plantagenet p53]
written in the boyars, "If the Greek religion had not been the best, your
grandmother Olga, the wisest of mortals, would not have adopted it".
Accordingly, he descended into the Taurid, besieged and conquered Cherson, the
last city of that region that remained subject to the Byzantian emperors, and
sent an embassy to the Greek emperors Basil and Constantine, demanding their
sister Anne in marriage, and threatening in case of refusal to march on
Constantinople. It was a Cherson, that he received baptism and celebrated his
marriage with Anne Porphyrogenita [Ref: Felch Agatha p461]
The marital history of Vladimir is very complicated. You try to sort his wives
as a series of consequent marriages, but this makes no sense for pre-Christian
time. The sources clearly say that Vladimir lived and had children with
several women at the same time.
Here is list of Vladimir's wives from Nestor's chronicle (the order is how
Nestor lists them and not necessary chronological).
1) Rogneda, daughter of Prince Rogwolod of Polotsk. She refused to marry
him, so Vladimir took her by force, after conquerring Polotsk and murdering
her father and two brothers. They had four sons: Izyaslav, Mstislav, Yaroslav
and Vsevolod, and two daughters (they are not named, but later Nestor mentions
Yaroslav's sister Predslava). The story of Rogneda's marriage is placed under
year 980 in chronicle, but the chronology isn't very reliable and it is
possible that Nestor combined events of several years in one. Later Nestor
said that Rogneda's son Yaroslav died in 1054 aged 76, which makes him born
ca.978. After Vladimir's conversion to Christianity and dissolution of his
pagan marriages Rogneda became a noon and died in 1000 (not 1002).
2) "Greek woman", widow of his murdered (by him) brother Yaropolk. Their
relationship was short and left one son, Swyatopolk. If you belive Nestor, she
was already pregnant by Yaropolk when Vladimir took her, so Svyatopolk was
"son of two fathers". This happened soon after Yaropolk's murder in 980.
3) "Czech woman" (unnamed in Nestor but called Adela in some later
chronicles). She was mother of one son, Vysheslav. Vysheslav supposedly was
Vladimir's eldest son, so she was probably the first of his wives. As we know
that Vladimir spent several years before 980 in Scandinavia, it is not clear
how he managed to find a czech woman there. So probably more reliable is
information preserved by Tatischev (a 18th century historian, but he had in
his possession ancient chronicles which didn't survive), that Vysheslav's
mother was a scandinavian woman named Olava. This also fits information of
sagas. called Vladimir's wife Allogia.
4) "Another czech woman" (probably called Malfrida). She was mother of
Svyatoslav and Mstislav (again, probably an error). If this woman really was
Malfrida, then she died in 1000.
5) "Bulgarian woman" (called Mililika in later sources). She was mother of
Boris and Gleb. [Ref: Andrew Kalinkin SGM 8/2/1999]
988: Baptized a Christian [Ref: Moriarty Plantagenet p53]
after Vladimir's conversion to Christianity he repudiated all his former
wives and married princess Anna of Byzantium. The story of his conversion
placed under year 988, but an exact date of this event is uncertain, so
this is probalby why ES cautiously dates this marriage 987/989 [Ref: Andrew
Kalinkin SGM 8/2/1999]
The German marriage for Vladimir after death of Anna was proposed by
N.Baumgarten (Le dernier marriage de saint Vladimir // Orientalia Christiana.
Roma, 1930. Vol. XVIII, N61). I have no idea what was evidence for this
marriage, but it seems generally accepted. Baumgarten attributed
Maria-Dobronega, wife of Casimir, to this marriage, but this attribution
accepted less universally. Alternative hypothesis makes Dobronega daughter of
Yaroslav rather than Vladimir. [Ref: Andrew Kalinkin SGM 8/2/1999]
