In the annals of Anastasia is mentioned only once, in the year of his death. This mention is interesting primarily from the point of view of the history of the church [4] [5] . Under 1158, the chronicler indicated that on January 3, at 84 a.m., Yaropolkovna, the widow of Prince Gleb, having survived her husband for 40 years, was buried on the 4th in the Assumption Cathedral of the Kiev Pechersky Monastery next to St. Theodosius of the Caves with her husband [6] . She bequeathed 5 villages with servants and in general all her property to the monastery [7] .
Marriage and children
The time when the marriage was concluded between Anastasia and Gleb Vseslavich is not exactly known, but it can be calculated. It is known that after the murder of Yaropolk in 1086, Kunigund left for Germany, taking her youngest daughter with her, where she got married [3] . Anastasia, on the other hand, remained in Russia, probably because she was already in the care of her husband or, at least, was wooed. At that time, they married married from the age of 12, which allows us to indicate 1086 as an approximate wedding time [8] [9] . However, sometimes in this capacity they indicate the beginning of the 1090s. L. V. Alekseev believed that Anastasia was married to Gleb in early 1073 , which served as a reason for the conflict between Izyaslav Yaroslavich and his younger brothers, but in 1073 Anastasia was not yet born [10] .
Sons:
- Rostislav (d. Approx. 1165), Prince of Minsk 1146–1151, 1159–1165 (?), Prince of Polotsk 1151–1159
- Volodar (d. After 1167), Prince Gorodtsovsky 1146–1167 (?), Prince of Minsk 1151–1159, 1165 (?) - 1167, Prince Polotsky 1167
- Vsevolod (d. 1159/1162), Prince Izyaslavsky 1151-1159, Prince Strezhevsky 1159 - until 1162
- Izyaslav (d. 1134)
The historian A. V. Nazarenko doubted that Rostislav was the son of Gleb from Anastasia, suggesting that he could be a son from an unknown first marriage [9] . The reason for the doubt was that in this case, Rostislav married his second cousin, which was not allowed by the church, but sometimes it happened. However, the origin of Rostislav’s wife is not unambiguously established, so Rostislav may well be the son of Anastasia [11] .
Memory
In Kiev Pechersk Lavra, the memory of Gleb and Anastasia lived for a long time. The cathedral monk of the Kiev cave monastery Athanasius Kalofoysky in his essay Teraturgim written in 1638 , among the epitaphs to the founders of the Lavra, cites the epitaph to Gleb Vseslavich and his wife with a poetic dedication. And the author of the Kiev Synopsis probably even made a search to find out the name of the princess (it is not mentioned in the epitaph).
