Sviatoslav invaded the territory of the Bulgars along the Danube in 967, having been invited to do so by Emperor Nikephoros Phokas, and established a base at Pereiaslavets on the Danube delta. He conquered the entire middle Volga area and took control of the commercial centres of Sarkel and Ityl. Ruling alone by the mid-960s, Prince Sviatoslav launched a major attack against the Khazars in 965, using the Pechenegs as allies. Kiev was besieged by the Pechenegs in 962. He succeeded his father as SVIATOSLAV I Grand Prince of Kiev, under the regency of his mother. The place is called "Nemogardas" in the De administrando imperio, which could be a corruption of Novgorod. According to the Primary Chronicle he "was but a child" in 946.Īt an early age, Sviatoslav´s father appears to have established him in the northern town of Gorodishche, which seems to indicate that a claim to the overlordship of the northern Scandinavian settlements. His birth date is estimated on the assumption that he was a young adult when the De administrando imperio was compiled, before the death of Emperor Konstantinos VII in 959. The Primary Chronicle names Svyatoslav as son of Olga.

Please either provide verifiable primary sources or reliable analysis from primary sources for such assertions, or leave them to your personal family tree. Angel further notes: There is absolutely no evidence given in any reliable source that indicates that Malusha came from Sweden, Bulgaria, or the red planet Mars. She was Grand Prince Vladimir's mother, but this afforded her no official position, even after Grand Princess Olga's death.) She lost her position as housekeeper to Grand Princess Olga after becoming pregnant by her son, Svyatoslav, after which we have no idea what position as a servant she was placed. Angel notes: Malusha was never "Queen of Russia" or even "Grand Princess of Rus". I doubt that she came from Albuquerque, also but Medlands says she came from QUOTE Mistress (2): MALUSHA, daughter of MALK of Lyubech & his wife.
