Maria Mstislavna of Kiev explained

Maria Mstislavna of Kiev (died 1179), was a Grand Princess consort of Kiev by marriage to Prince Vsevolod II of Kiev.[1] [2] She was the daughter of Mstislav I of Kiev and Christina Ingesdotter of Sweden.[3] [4]

Her marriage was arranged in 1116 to facilitate better relations between her father and spouse, who were long standing enemies.[5] She is believed to have been much younger than her husband.[6] During the reign of her spouse, she was known for her diplomatic ability, and often asked to mediate between her husband and brothers.[7] She is believed to be one of the founders of St. Cyril's Monastery.[8]
