Rogneda
Date of birth unknown; died in 1000. Daughter of Prince Rogvolod of Polotsk, wife of Grand Prince Vladimir Sviatoslavich of Kiev, and mother of Prince Iziaslav Vladimiro-vich. In the late 970’s, according to the chronicle, Rogneda refused to marry Vladimir Sviatoslavich, who at the time was prince of Novgorod.
