Life
He was the third son of Rostislav Vladimirovich, the prince of Tmutarakan.[3] The historian Martin Dimnik writes that Vasilko's mother was Lanka, a daughter of King Béla I of Hungary.[4]
In November 1097, the Prince David Igorevich of Volhynia and Prince Sviatopolk II Iziaslavich of Kiev captured and blinded Vasilko Rostislavich, whom Sviatopolk had tricked into coming to Kiev. Thus, the agreements reached at an earlier meeting of the princes at the Council of Liubech were broken and war ensued.
