Edit Facts

Sfengus Svyatislavovich was born circa 1020 to Svyatoslav I Igorevich of Kiev (c942-972) and Malusha (940-1020) and died 990 of unspecified causes.

According to John Skylitzes, Sfengus or Sphengos was a brother of Knyaz Vladimir I of Kiev. Sfengus was a leader in the joint Byzantine-Kievan campaign to depose Georgius Tzul, the last recorded khagan of the Khazars. Though identified as a brother of Vladimir I of Kiev, some historians such as Simon Franklin and Jonathan Shepard hypothesize that he is identical with Mstislav of Tmutarakan, Vladimir's son.
