Biography

Very little information about Premislava was attested. The annals contain a mention of the fact that the cousin of the King of Hungary, Duke Ladislaus Sar, was married to a Rus princess [I, cl. 407-408]. Researchers suggest that she was the daughter of Vladimir and Rogneda Premislava [1, p. 94; 2, c. 50; 6, p. 354; 8, p. 311-315; 9, p. 101-105]. There is no reliable information about her marriage to Ladislaus and their common offspring [II, p. 356, n. 22]. Earlier it was believed that Premislava and Ladislaus were the parents of the future Hungarian princes Andras I and Bela I, as well as their brother Levente [II, p. 356; 4, p. 378]. But later this version was refuted [5, p. 66; 3, p. 29; 7, p. 23]
