 OLEG MIKHAIL Sviatoslavich "Gorislavich" ([1058]-1 Aug 1115[271]).  The Primary Chronicle names Oleg, son of Sviatoslav, recording that he and Vladimir, son of Vsevolod, fought the Czechs with the Poles in 1076[272].  Prince of Volynia [1073].  He claimed Chernigov in 1076 on the death of his father, but was expelled in Apr 1078 by his uncles Iziaslav and Vsevolod to Tmutorokan.  He returned with support from the Kuman [Cumans] to take Chernigov by force and defeated his uncle Vsevolod on the river Sozh, east of Pereyaslavl, 25 Aug 1078[273].  Prince Vsevolod sought support from Prince Iziaslav.  They defeated Oleg 3 Oct 1078 at Nezhatin Meadow near Chernigov, where Prince Iziaslav was killed.  Oleg was kidnapped from Tmutorokan on the orders of his uncle Vsevolod Grand Prince of Kiev and taken to Constantinople (from where he went to Rhodos where he spent two years and married his first wife), being replaced by Vsevolod's agent Ratibor, who in turn was expelled by Oleg's cousins David Igorevich and Volodar Rostislavich, before returning himself to take control of Tmutorokan in [1083].  He captured Chernigov in 1094, after expelling Prince Vladimir "Monomakh".  He was expelled in 1095 by Princes Vladimir and Sviatopolk, but waged continual war against them 1096/97[274].  He installed himself as Prince of Murom and Suzdal in 1096, but was obliged to withdraw by the armed forces of Mstislav Vladimirovich Prince of Novgorod (later Mstislav II Grand Prince of Kiev)[275].

A seal dated to [1088] names "Theophano Mouzalonissa archontissa of Russia"[276].  Schlumberger assumes that “archontissa” indicates that Theofano was the wife of a Russian prince, citing as another example of use of the title a reference to St Olga, wife of Igor son of Rurik, as "archontissa tes Rosias", but he remarks that he had not identified the husband of Theofano[277].  Baumgarten identifies her husband, but he only cites the same passage in Schlumberger in support[278].  It has not been ascertained whether Baumgarten´s identification is based on another (primary) source or was an informed guess in light of Oleg´s reported stay in Rhodos (see above) and after eliminating other possible candidates in the Rurikid dynasty.  m secondly --- Kuman princess, daughter of OSSOLUR Asaduk Khan of Kumans.
