Known as Mstislav the Brave (Belarusian: Мсціслаў-Канстанцін Уладзіміравіч Храбры, Russian: Мстислав Владимирович Храбрый, Ukrainian: Мстислав Володимирович Хоробрий) was the earliest attested ruler of Chernihiv. He was Vladimir the Great's son, probably by Rogneda of Polotsk, although his exact position in the family has been disputed. It is not clear, for instance, whether Yaroslav the Wise was his younger or elder brother. Some historians such as Simon Franklin and Jonathan Shepard hypothesize that he is identical with Sfengus.
