Life

He was the third son of Rostislav Vladimirovich, Prince of Tmutarakan. The historian Martin Dimnik writes that Vasylko's mother was Lanka, a daughter of King Béla I of Hungary.
In November 1097 Volhynian Prince and Prince Svyatopolk II Izyaslavich of Kiev had captured and blinded Vasilko Rostislavich whom Svyatopolk had tricked into coming to Kiev. Thus the agreements reached at the earlier meeting of princes at the Council of Liubech has been violated and war ensued.
