Svyatoslav Vseslavich (baptized: George ; - after 1129), Prince of Vitebsk 1101-1129, son of Vseslav Bryachislavich.

Biography
Svyatoslav was one of the younger sons of Vseslav Bryachislavich. In 1101, after the death of Vseslav, the Polotsk principality was divided between his sons. In the opinion of AE Presnyakov and T. Vasilevsky Svyatoslav inherited the inheritance of the Polotsk principality Vitebsk parish. They proceed from the fact that in Vitebsk his grandsons Vseslav and Bryachislav reigned. On the contrary, Alekseev believes that at this time Vitebsk was a princely patrimony of Smolensk, and this prince complained to Rostislav Mstislavich his vassals (sons), but there is no confirmation of this thought in the sources of confirmation. In 1129 during the next campaign of Mstislav Vladimirovich Polotsk has to he captured Svyatoslav and his brothers of David and Rostislava and sent them to Constantinople. The further fate of Svyatoslav is unknown.

In Kukeynos found Svyatoslav printing.

Marriage and children
Svyatoslav was married to Sofiya ( Eudoxia). Her name is established by the found seals with the image of St. George and Sofiya and the composition of the cross by Euphrosyne of Polotsk. There is speculation that Svyatoslav's wife was the daughter of Vladimir II Vsevolodovich Monomakh. It is based on the fact that, in the annals, Svyatoslav's son Vasilko is named grandson of [[Vladimir II Vsevolodovich Monomakh of Kiev (1053-1125)|Vladimir Monomakh}}   . The reasons for which Vladimir Monomakh, then the actual co-prince of Kiev Svyatopolk Izyaslavich, gave his daughter for a petty prince, historians have not been investigated, some even doubt the chronicle message and deny the fact of Svyatoslav's marriage to Vladimir's daughter.

Children: Predslava (Monastery of St. Euphrosyne) (between 1101 and 1105 - 23.5.1167 or 23.5.1173) took monasticism, canonized. The order in which Svyatoslav's children are listed is conditional, but it can be assumed that Vasilko was older than Vyacheslav and Davyd.
