Biography.
Rostislav Yuryevich's name was first mentioned in a chronicle under the year of 1138, when he was invited by the citizens of Novgorod as a ruler for the purpose of preserving friendly relations with Yuri Dolgoruky, Prince of Suzdal. Rostislav Yuryevich reigned over the Novgorodians for over a year and then left the city in 1139 after they
captured Kiev. His son Mstislav wanted to take Pereyaslavl away from Rostislav Yuryevich. With the help of his brother Andrei and the Torks, Rostislav defeated Mstislav's allies, and the latter dismissed the idea of attacking Pereyaslavl.
Rostislav Yuryevich died in 1151 and was interred by his brothers Andrei, Gleb, and Mstislav at Saint Michael's Church in Pereyaslavl next to his uncles Andrei Vladimirovich and Svyatoslav Vladimirovich.
