Vladimir II Yaroslavich
Prince of Halych
Years: 1150 - 1199
Vladimir II Yaroslavich (?–1198/1199) is a Rus’ prince (a member of the Rurik dynasty).
He is prince of Halych (1187–1189, 1189–1198/99).
Profligate by nature, he lives a debauched life and is politically ineffectual.
Due to the strife between Vladimir and his stepbrother, Oleg Yaroslavich,and to the interference of Prince Roman Mstislavich of Vladimir-in-Volhynia and King Béla III of Hungary, his reign in Halych is characterized by troubles.
Only the protection that his uncle, Prince Vsevolod III Yuryevich of Vladimir gives him ensured political stability in Halych.
Vladimir is the last male descendant of the first dynasty ruling in Halych; therefore, his death creates a political vacuum.
