Grand Princes of Kiev

Below are all of the Grand Princes of Kiev, including the years of their reign.  What is shown is the relationship between those Princes and me based on who has so far been identified as the closest male ancestor.  Since there are multiple lines of descendants from the early Princes, there remain unexplored lines which might, if developed, result in closer relationships to the later Princes.  Of these Princes, the most recent ancestor is Yaroslav II Iziaslavich.

*The relationships shown for each Prince and for the closest known male relative are not always consistent.  This is because I descend from more than one child of some of the more distant ancestors, and the number of generations between me and each of the siblings is frequently different.
