Boris and Gleb
the younger sons of the Kievan prince Vladimir Sviatoslavich. Circa 987–989, Boris received Rostov from his father, and Gleb received Murom. In the civil war that broke out in 1015, after the death of Vladimir, Boris and Gleb were killed by their elder brother, Sviatopolk. In 1071 the Russian Orthodox Church canonized Boris and Gleb.
