Sfengus
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.
