Rogneda Rogvolodovna (Russian: Рогнеда Рогволодовна;[a] Christian name: Anastasia; c. 960 – c. 1000),[3] also known as Ragnhild (Ragnheiðr),[4] is a person mentioned in the Primary Chronicle as having been a princess of Polotsk, the daughter of Rogvolod (Ragnvald), who came from Scandinavia and established himself at Polotsk in the mid-10th century. Vladimir the Great is narrated as having killed her father and taking her as one of his wives.[5]
In a closely related, but separate story in the Suzdalian Chronicle, the daughter of Rogvolod of Polotsk is called Gorislava, and Vladimir rapes her in front of her parents before killing her father and taking her as a wife, after which Gorislava attempts to kill Vladimir in revenge.[5]
