- Born: 1154
- Marriage: Mary of Ossetia before 1186

General Notes:
Distinct branches of the dynasty established their own rule in the major centres of the country outside Kiev--Halicz, Novgorod, and Suzdal. The princes of these regions vied with each other for control of Kiev; but when Andrew Bogolyubsky of Suzdal finally conquered and sacked the city (1169), he returned to Vladimir (a city in the Suzdal principality) and transferred the seat of the grand prince to Vladimir. Andrew Bogolyubsky's brother Vsevolod III succeeded him as grand prince of Vladimir.
Noted events in his life were:
• Acceded: Grand Prince of Vladimir, 1176.
Vsevolod married Mary of Ossetia before 1186. (Mary of Ossetia died in 1206.)
