Vladimir Monomakh

1053 CE1125 CE · Kiev

Vladimir Monomakh (1053–1125) was Grand Prince of Kiev from 1113 and one of the last rulers to hold much of Kievan Rus together before its fragmentation. He is remembered for his campaigns against the Cuman (Polovtsian) nomads of the steppe and for temporarily restoring a measure of unity among the quarreling Rus principalities. He is also credited with a didactic work known as the Instruction (Pouchenie), addressed to his sons, offering moral and practical guidance. His by-name derived from his descent, through his mother, from the Byzantine emperor Constantine IX Monomachos.
