Who is Gleb Svyatoslavich?

Gleb Svyatoslavich was the ruler of Tmutarakan. He ruled this area under the overal authority of his father Svyatoslav II the Prince of Chernigov. In 1064 Gleb was removed from power by the forces of Rostislav, the son of a former ruler of Novgorod. In 1065 Svyatoslav restored Gleb to the rulership of Tmutarakan.

However once Svyatoslav had returned with his army back to Chernigov, Rostislav invaded again and displaced Gleb from power once more. Gleb was eventually killed fighting pagan Finnic tribes in the northern Novgorodian Lands on May 30, 1079.
