10. Iziaslav I

1/28/2023

0 Comments

 
Iziaslav takes the throne after the death of Yaroslav the Wise. While not the original and wanted heir, as the next eldest son he takes on the mantle of responsibility. Will he hold onto the promise he made to Yaroslav to work with his brothers, or will the Rurikid fratricidal nature continue for the key to Kyiv?
