Rogvolod born at the beginning of the XII century. Until 1129 he owned some destiny in the land of Polotsk. As he later ruled the principality Drutsk, by the established view that the lot was just Drutsk. He probably got it in 1127 when his father became the prince of Polotsk. However, in 1129 the Grand Duke of Kiev Mstislav Vladimirovich the Great made ​​a trip to the principality of Polotsk, capturing all of Polotsk princes and their families, deprived of their dominions, and sent them to the Byzantine Empire. Among the exiles was and Rogvolod. With the permission of the Grand Duke Yaropolk Vladimirovich Rogvolod in 1140 with his brother Ivan had returned from exile. It is possible that he again received Drutsk principality. In 1143 according to the Nikon Chronicle, he married the daughter of one of the sons of Mstislav the Great, Izyaslav Mstislavovitch , then Prince of Pereyaslavl [1]. It is possible that through this marriage he had in 1144 [2] after the death of Svyatoslav Vasilko able to sit in Polotsk. However, it soon began to Polotsk land feuds between the various lines of Polotsk princes. In 1151 the inhabitants revolted against Polotsk Rogvolod, captured him and handed Ming Prince Rostislav Glebovich who concluded Rogvolod in prison. Rostislav himself sat in Polotsk, and in the ancestral inheritance Rogvolod (Drutsk) put her son Gleb. Later, the requirement of Suzdal Prince Yury Dolgoruky, Rogvolod was released from prison and found refuge in Chernigov in Prince Svyatoslav Olgovich , an ally of Yuri Dolgoruky. In 1158 Rogvolod by the army, had given him Svyatoslav II of Kiev, expelled from Drutsk Gleb Rostislavich, restoring his lot, and next year at the call of Polotsk Polotsk drove from Rostislav Glebovich. After that attempted to unite Rogvolod Polotsk land under his rule. Also in 1159 he captured Izjaslavl, drove sitting there Vsevolod Glebovich brother Rostislav planted there Bryachislav Vasilkovich of Vitebsk line. Vsevolod Rogvolod gave Strezhev. After that Rogvolod marched in Minsk (Rostislav Glebovich lot), but after a ten-siege of the city made ​​peace with Rostislav. In 1160 Rostislav Glebovich Izjaslavl captured, capturing Bryachislav Vasilkovich and his brother Volodshu. In response Rogvolod undertook a new campaign to Minsk. After a six-week siege, was forced to release Rostislav Bryachislav and Volodshu and enter a new world. However, a more serious contender for Rogvolod brother was Rostislav Volodar Glebovich entrenched in 1159 in Gorodets. In 1162 Rogvolod besieged Gorodets, however, according to the Volyn chronicle, Volodar night with the Lithuanians made ​​a sortie from the city and defeated the army of Rogvolod, which ran in Slutsk, and thence to Drutsk. In Polotsk, he decided not to return to his place called Polochans Vseslav Vasilkovich. Probably until his death he reigned in Drutsk. After 1162 the chronicles of Rogvolod no news, but in 1171 he was still alive. The inscription on a boulder ( Rogvolod stone ), found near Drutsk, dating back to 1171 year, said: In the summer of 6679 the month of May in 7 days delivered this cross. God help his servant Basil of baptism, name Rogvolod, the son of Borisov [3]. Rogvolod died before 1180, when the prince in Drutsk mentioned his son Gleb. [ edit ] Marriage and children
