Packet 7: Bonus 19
This ruler recounted being injured by many wild animals and wrote of how his father learned five languages at home because doing so “makes one honored in other lands.” For 10 points each:
[10h] Name this 12th-century ruler whose letter to his children advised them to fear God. In that “Instruction,” this ruler described liberating “royal princes of the Polovtsians.”
ANSWER: Vladimir Monomakh [or Vladimir II or Volodiměrŭ Monomakhŭ or Volodiměrŭ II; accept Instruction of Vladimir Monomakh or Poucheniye Vladimira Monomakha; prompt on Vladimir or Volodiměrŭ or Monomakh alone; reject “Vladimir the Great”]
[10e] Monomakh’s epithet is absent from the Primary Chronicle’s Laurentian Codex but appears in a continuation named for this city. Rurik’s successor Oleg moved his center of power from Novgorod to this city on the Dnieper.
ANSWER: Kyiv [or Kiev; accept Kievan Chronicle]
[10m] The Laurentian Codex also compiles a chronicle named for this Rus’ (“roose”) town. The city of Vladimir, thought by the Soviets to be founded by Monomakh, formed a grand principality with this town in the 12th century.
ANSWER: Suzdal [accept Suzdalia; accept Suzdalskoye knyazhestvo; accept Vladimir-Suzdal; accept Suzdalian Chronicle] (The now-accepted founding date of Vladimir is 990, under Vladimir the Great.)
