Yes his ancestry matters, as he used it in his endeavors and it is the basis of his nickname. 217.140.193.123 12:19, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
Has the user Ghirlandajo some knowledge about Vladimir's maternal grandfather Constantine IX being a descendant of emperors? which emperors? Arrigo 13:29, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
I've seen some online sources that give his mother's name as Irene or Irina; those seem like romanisations of the same name. I found a redirect from an Irene Monomakhine entry to Monomakhin (now to this entry, to avert double redirect) so it makes me curious on what grounds his mother is thought to be anonymous.

- There is not a single contemporary source naming his mother, except a much later synodic which names her as Anastasia. Other names - including Irina, Anna, and Maria - are mere speculations by modern researchers. --Ghirlandajo 12:51, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
- That's really interesting. Thanks for satisfying my curiosity! TECannon 14:37, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Sister of Vladimir
The next to last paragraph states: "Vladimir's only sister Praxedis became too well-known all over Europe for her divorce with Emperor Henry IV on the ground that he had attempted a black mass on her naked body".
While the page for Vladimir's father, Vsevolod, states: "In 1067 Vsevolod's Greek wife died and he soon married a Kypchak princess. She brought him another son, who drowned after the Battle of the Stugna River, and two daughters, one becoming a nun and another Holy Roman Empress i.e consort of monarch of Germany".
On Henry IV's page Eupraxia is also identified as Vsevolod's only daughter.
If Vsevolod's page is correct this would make Praxedis (Eupraxia - spelling variation?) a half-sister and furthermore not an only sister.
Can someone with more knowledge of this subject than I possess please make the appropriate changes?
Thanks.
