The Kievan Rus’ in 1237

Mstislav III Glebovich (before 1215/1220 – after October 18, 1239) was an Olgovichi prince. He was probably prince of Rylsk[1] (1212–1239/1241) and of Chernigov (1235–1239/1241).[1] During his reign, the Tatars (the Mongols) invaded and pillaged the towns of the Principality of Chernigov.[1]

He was the son of Prince Gleb Svyatoslavich of Chernigov and Anastasia Ryurikovna, a daughter of Grand Prince Ryurik Rostislavich of Kiev. His father died between 1215 and 1220.[1]

By 1225, Mstislav had already been second in seniority among the Olgovichi (the ruling dynasty of Chernigov), and therefore during the absence of his cousin, Mikhail Vsevolodovich, he commanded them.[1] On April 6, 1231, he attended a snem (a meeting of some leading princes of Rus’ organized by Grand Prince Vladimir III of Kiev) in Kiev, but the reasons for convoking the council are not given.[1] It appears that his domain probably lay west of the Snov and Desna rivers.[1]
