Vladimir III Mstislavich[a] (1132–1171) was a prince of Dorogobuzh (1150–1154; 1170–1171), Vladimir and Volyn (1154–1157), Slutsk (1162), Trypillia (1162–1168)[citation needed] and Grand Prince of Kiev (1171). He was the son of Mstislav I Vladimirovich, grandson of Vladimir Monomakh.[citation needed]
Due to his brief rule, he is omitted from some lists of the princes of Kiev.[citation needed] The chronology provided in the Hypatian and Khlebnikov copies of the Kievan Chronicle show various errors, and also contradict each other. According to historian Leonid Makhnovets (1989), his reign should be dated from 5 February to 10 May 1171, three months and a few days, even though the text says "four months" (because incomplete periods of time were customarily rounded up).[1]
He was a son of Mstislav I from his second marriage with Liubava Dmitrievna Zavidich. According to Latopis kijowski Vladimir was born between 1 March 1131 and 29 February 1132.[citation needed]
He kept excellent ties with Hungary and Serbia. In 1150 he married the daughter of Serbia's Beloš Vukanović. According to old Russian annals, her titular name was inscribed as "Banovna".[citation needed]
