Gleb Vseslavich (Belarusian: Глеб Усяславіч, Russian: Глеб Всеславич) (died September 13, 1119) was the prince of Minsk between 1101 and 1119. During his reign Minsk was at war with Kiev and Polatsk. He started the Minsk branch of the Princes of Polotsk as son of Vseslav of Polotsk.
In 1104 his city of Minsk was under siege from the voivode Putiata Vyshatich, Oleg Svyatoslavich, and Yaropolk Vladimirovich, the son of Vladimir II Monomakh. In 1106 he had partaken the raid on the Baltic tribe of Semigallians.
In 1116 he started the war with Vladimir Monomakh and burned down Slutsk. In response to that Monomakh with his sons, Davyd Svyatoslavich, and sons of Oleg Svyatoslavich assaulted Minsk. The Monomakhs took Orsha, Drutsk, and besieged Minsk. Gleb started negotiations with Vladimir Monomakh who in spirit of the upcoming Easter holidays agreed to conclude a peace. Completely ignoring the conditions of the signed peace treaty, Gleb resumed his hostilities in 1119. The same year Mstislav Vladimirovich, the son of Monomakh, took Gleb as a prisoner to Kiev where the last died shortly.[1]
