Yaropolk III Yaroslavich (after 1174 – after 1212 / before 1223)[1] was a Kievan Rus' prince. He was prince of Novgorod (1197).[1]

His life

[edit]

Yaropolk was the younger son of Yaroslav Vsevolodovich (who was the prince of Starodub or Chernigov when Yaropolk was born), by his wife Irene.[1]

Vsevolod Svyatoslavich probably gave Vyshgorod to Yaropolk’s brother, Rostislav Yaroslavich, and Yaropolk joined his brother.[1] When the royalty went to in Kiev in the spring of 1223, it's uncertain that Yaropolk and Rostislav had died by that time.[1]
