    I live across the river (Firth of Clyde) from Largs, where the battle happened. On the seafront where I live property developers found a plot of land they wanted to build on but when construction began they found it was full of graves. The Norwegians had retreated from Largs and disembarked across the river on Innellan beach to bury their dead, perhaps the wounded who died after escaping (seems unlikely they would have placed any corpses on the ships). After their dead were buried the remaining soldiers pushed their boats out to sea and that was the last time hostile Scandinavian warriors stepped foot on the British mainland.

    I still wish for a video on the battles during the age of the Rus Triumvirate, with the Nemiga River, Kiev Uprising and mainly the battle of the river Snov. I’ll repost a large summary of it. Good video though, thank you very much. The Kievan Rus’ was always divided, and in many ways. While Vladimir the Great did convert the lands of the Rus to Christianity, there were still many pagans, especially in the recently conquered lands such as Polotsk. The lands were also often rebellious, as it was shown in this video. Novgorod was acquired after a bloody war, the Cumans and Pechenegs often migrated into the southern lands, taking them, and Polotsk was conquered over an insult and a refusal to marriage. This made tensions high. There was also the many disputes between brothers, as shown here. Prince Bryacheslav had attempted to conquer Novgorod, and gain independence from the Rus, but was stopped by Yaroslav in 1020 and defeated decisively at the Sudoma River. A peace treaty was signed, but Bryacheslav and Yaroslav still constantly acted hostile to each other. During this time, a bad system had been implemented which caused problems. The ‘rota system’ was a system of seniority, where the oldest member of the dynasty inherits, instead of regular succession from father to son. Familicide became common, as brothers fought for power. One of the greatest struggles occurred after the death of Yaroslav the Wise. Soon after Iziaslav was crowned, the rebellious and powerful Prince of Polotsk, Vseslav the Seer, challenged the throne. This culminated into an epic battle at the Nemiga river, the details of which have been lost to time. The three sons of Yaroslav, who were Iziaslav, Vsevolod and Svetoslav, put aside their differences to challenge this powerful Prince, and probably outnumbered him. On their way, they burned Minsk, then held by Polotsk (as that was the first reference to Minsk we know of, it is celebrated as the founding date of the city), and moved up to challenge him in 1067. We know little of the course of the battle, but what we do know is that it ended as a bloodbath, with ‘The Tale of Igor’s Campaign’ describing “The bloody banks of the Nemiga being sown with not blessings, but with bones”. Vseslav fled back to Polotsk, but the Princes did not follow him, likely due to their losses. In June of that year, the brothers met, swearing upon the cross to not harm each other again, as Vseslav was imprisoned in Kiev for a while. This was not the end. The Triumvirate between the three brothers slowly broke apart, as Izyaslav, who was not strong enough to deal with all of this by himself but tried his best was showing his weaknesses, Svetoslav, who was described as a ‘new Ptolemy’ and a scholar was shown as a good commander and Vsevolod, who proved in ways that he was brilliant in diplomacy, wanted more power. In 1061, the Cumans attacked and raided into the Rus, defeating Vsevolod. They continued to attack the Rus for 7 more years before anything was done, as the Triumvirate attacked the Cumans and failed. However, while this military disgrace did prove that the Cumans were truly a threat, Svetoslav was able to defeat a Cuman force of 12,000 with 3,000 men in the battle of the river Snov in November 1, 1068. The battle began, with Svetoslav making a speech, saying to his men, “Потягнем, уже нам не лзе камо ся дети!”. I don’t speak old Slavic/old Russian, but StKozlovsky translated it. It means ‘Let’s win this, we have nowhere to hide anymore.’ The Russian army attacked, and was caught in bloody fighting with the larger Cuman force. A decisive charge by the Russian heavy cavalry dispersed the Cumans, who quickly after lost the battle. This elevated the prestige of Svetoslav, who became popular for ending the massive Cuman threat- after the battle, the Cumans left the Rus, and signed a peace treaty with the Rus, with minor raids being the only problem they caused for decades. However, the battle at the river Snov was too late of a victory. In 1068, while Svetoslav was marching to fight the Cumans, the people of Kiev demanded that Iziaslyav, the grand prince of the Rus, muster a new army and attack them, after a Veche, or assembly in the marketplace of the city. When this was refused, the revolt began. The people, blaming Iziaslav’s general Konstantin for the defeat, marched to his house and ransacked him. Then, they kicked Iziaslav from the throne, freeing the Polotskian Prince Vseslav and proclaiming him the leader of the Kievan Rus. Vseslav also quickly secured the support of the many pagans in the Rus by supporting them. Iziaslav fled to Poland, to Bolysław II, known as the Bold, the Cruel and the Generous, who gave him arms and weapons to forcefully take back the throne. After several years of struggle, while losing the title of Grand Prince of the Rus, he regained his title as Prince of Polotsk and spent many more years on the throne- he is often known as a sorcerer due to this fact, along with his support of Pagans. After all of this drama, the Triumvirate was practically restored. Iziaslav continued reigning, but then, in 1073, another power struggle occurred. According to the Russian Chronicles, ‘the devil stirred up strife’ between the brothers. On the 22nd of March, 1073, Svetoslav and Vsevolod deposed Iziaslav, proclaiming Svetoslav as the new leader of the Rus. According to a chronicle, this happened because Svetoslav was corrupted with the need for more power, and he misled Vsevolod into thinking that Iziaslav had tried to enter into an alliance with Vseslav against them two. Either way, Svetoslav was now the ruler. Iziaslav fled once more to Poland, which he was expelled from as Svetoslav was the son-in-law of Bolesław II. He then appealed to Henry IV of the Holy Roman Empire, who tried to help but later gave up. The Pope later sent Iziaslav a crown, proclaiming him the ‘King of Kiev’ in 1075, and he took back Kiev. Svetoslav soon died in 1077, due to the ‘cutting of a sore’. One of the sons of Svetoslav, Oleg Svetoslavich and the son of a prince of Smolensk, Boris Vyacheslavich, tried to conquer the lands of Vsevolod in Chernigov, which Svetoslav gave him after helping him become leader of the Rus. Oleg also allied with the Cumans, but Iziaslav and Vsevolod defeated Oleg, Boris and the Cumans. However, Iziaslav perished in this battle. After the other two sons had died, Vsevolod took the throne, uniting the three princedoms that had formed a Triumvirate many years ago. However, his rule was not too good- the Russian Primary chronicle writes that “people no longer had access to the Prince’s justice, judges became corrupt and venal”, and Vsevolod listened to the advice of young councilors instead of old and experienced retainers. According to his son’s autobiography, Vsevolod spoke five foreign languages, which were likely Greek, Cuman, Latin, Norse and Ossetian. His son, Vladimir Monomakh, who became a famed great warrior, did most of the fighting for his father, as his father had a horrible reputation in battles. His last few years were filled with grave illness, during which his son did most of the governing.
