Topic: Vseslav of Kiev


  
 Kievan Rus Database (Prince: Vseslav Briacheslavich)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Vseslav enjoyed popular sympathy; he was a swift-acting and successful military leader, flying from one place to another as if by sorcery and displaying valour and wit, and taking first Novgorod in the north and then Tmutarakan in the south.
Vseslav is depicted as a grey wolf running from Kiev to the Black Sea in one night, a sorcerer hearing the Polotsk bells ringing in Kiev, or a lynx disappearing from a beseiged fortress at night.
In Kiev Vseslav was kept in a special log cell with only a tiny window for food; the prison was built somewhere not far from the prince's courtyard reminding Kievans for a whole year of the perfidy of their Prince Izyaslav.

 Blagovest Bells— History of Russian Bell-Founding
Nevertheless, bells sounded the alarm as the Turks mounted their final attack, "but their wild pleas were drowned by the trumpets, fifes, and cymbals of the Turks" and, from the moment that the Turks gained possession of the city, its bells were silenced for 400 years; many, to provide gun metal for Turkish artillery.
