The Battle of Pereyaslavl (1149)

The Battle of Pereyaslavl - an episode of internecine war between Izyaslav Mstislavich and Yuri Dolgoruky and their allies, in which Yuri Dolgoruky defeated Izyaslav, after which he first occupied the Kiev throne.

Events In early 1149, Izyaslav with the Novgorodians and Smolensk took a ruinous campaign in the Volga region of Yuri. The reason for the response was the deprivation of Izyaslav's possessions in the south of Rostislav Yurievich on charges of conspiracy.

Vladimir Mstislavich with the Chorni Klobuky made a garrison of Pereyaslavl. Yuri used a battle formation dismembered along the front, placing his sons on the right flank, and SSvyatoslav Olgovichon the left.

In the midst of the battle, the Pereyaslavl refused to fight against Yuri and settled on their shields.

Following the victory in the battle, Yuri Dolgoruky took over Pereyaslavl, and soon Kiev (Kievites did not want to raise their hand on the son of Vladimir Monomakh).
