Biography
When in 1181 the Novgorodians participated in the campaign of the Olgovichi near Davyd Rostislavich, Vsevolod Yuryevich of Vladimir captured Torzhok, which influenced the choice of the new Prince of Novgorod: Vladimir, the son of Svyatoslav III of Kiev, was expelled, and Yaroslav came to Novgorod as a representative of Vsevolod in 1182. In 1184 the Novgorodians expelled him for not having rendered timely assistance to Pskov against the Lithuanians. For the next 3 years Mstislav, the son of Davyd Rostislavich became Prince of Novgorod.

The termination of the Smolensk influence in Novgorod occurred almost simultaneously with the conflict between Davyd and the Smolensk boyars. In 1187, Yaroslav was again drafted to Novgorod, where he reigned 9 years. Together with the Novgorodians he went to the aid of the Polotsk princes against Estonians, took Dorpat and returned with many prisoners and trophies (1191). In 1192, his squad and Pskov took the city of Odense (in Estonia).

In 1196, during the conflict between Vsevolod and the Rostislavichi of Smolensk, on the one hand, and the the Olgovichi of Chernigov with another Novgorod, the son of Chernigov prince Yaropolk Yaroslavich was invited to reign, and Yaroslav became prince in Torzhok, but in 1197 he was again called by the Novgorodians on the whole will of Vsevolod.

In 1199 the Novgorodians appealed to Vsevolod with a request to send them his son to reign over the princioality. Svyatoslav Vsevolodovich came to Novgorod, and Vsevolod contributed to the allocation of Vyshgorod Yaroslav his ally Ryurik Rostislavich. In 1205, Rostislav Rurikovich took over Vyshgorod, after which no other information is available about Yaroslavl.
