Euphrosyne Yaroslavna

[1] According to Alexander Soloviev, the name Euphrosyne goes back to the Lyubets Synodik [ru],[2][3] though doubt remains if this person is the same as the wife of Igor Svyatoslavich.

[1][7] According to modern researchers, this date arose as a result of an inaccurate reading of Russian History by Vasily Tatishchev.

'Yaroslavna's Lament' in the third act of the Lay, is considered one of its most poetic fragments, which had a great influence on Russian culture and art.

She is considered a symbol of a faithful wife who, thanks to her love, can save her husband on the battlefield.

[8] Euphrosyne Yaroslavna and Igor Svyatoslavich (2 April 1151 - Spring 1201) married around 1169[2] and produced six children:[7]
