The Blinding of Vasylko. Miniature of Radzivil chronicle of the 15th century
In November 1097 Volhynian Prince and Prince Svyatopolk II Izyaslavich of Kiev captured and blinded Vasilko Rostislavich, whom Svyatopolk had tricked into coming to Kiev. Thus, the agreements reached at an earlier meeting of the princes at the Council of Liubech were broken and war ensued.
