Aleksandr Vladimirovich of Kiev (1390-1454)

Grand Prince Olelko of Kiev or Alexander of Kiev (died in 1454) was the ancestor of the Olelkovich family. He was a son of Vladimir, Duke of Kiev, and grandson of Algirdas of Lithuania, Grand Duke of Lithuania. Alexander inherited his father's domains in the Duchy of Slutsk–Kapyl and in 1440 restored family's dynastic interest in the Principality of Kiev, which was confiscated from Vladimir in 1395 after a power struggle with Grand Duke Vytautas and given to Skirgaila. Alexander married Anastasia, daughter of Sophia of Lithuania and Vasily I of Moscow, and had two sons Semen (died in 1505) and Mikhailo Olelkovich (died in 1481).
