Sviatoslav continues the war against Yaropolk with …
Years: 1139 - 1139
Sviatoslav continues the war against Yaropolk with Yaropolk's old enemies, the Cumans, on his side.
He soon meets before the gates of Chernigov the combined troops of Kiev, Pereyaslav, Rostov, Polotsk, Smolensk, parts of Halych and thirty thousand Hungarians, sent by the Hungarian king Bela II.
He is forced to make peace in 1139.
Yaropolk, just before his death, assists Bela II in facing internal enemies; dying in 1139, Yaropolk is buried in the church of St. Andrey.
His brother, Vyacheslav I, succeeds him but is soon driven out by Vsevolod II.
The Russian principality fractures into eight parts, following the example set by Poland in the previous year.
