" Where Was I?" may refer to:
Rostislav I of Kiev
Rostislav Mstislavich( Russian and Ukrainian: Ростисла́в Мстисла́вич)( c. 1110–1167), Kniaz'( Prince) of Smolensk( 1125 – 1160), Novgorod( 1154) and Velikiy Kniaz( Grand Prince) of Kiev( 1154, 1159 – 1167).
He was the son of Mstislav I of Kiev and Christina Ingesdotter of Sweden.
After Yaroslav II of Kiev was driven out of Novgorod, Rostislav was invited to become the ruler of Novgorod.
He accepted, and became the prince on April 17, 1154.
Then, learning that Iziaslav II had died, Rostislav left Novgorod to take the Kievan throne.
Indignant that their prince had abandoned them and angered that he did not make order among them, but tore them more apart, the citizens of Novgorod drove out Rostislav's son, David, who was their governor.
They replaced him with Mstislav Yurievich, the son of Yury Dolgoruky.
Rostislav ruled Kiev for one week before Iziaslav III of Kiev forced him to flee to Chernigov.
He left four sons, princes David Rostislavich of Novgorod, Mstislav Rostislavich of Smolensk, Roman I of Kiev and Rurik Rostislavich and two daughters Elena Rostislavna of Kiev- Smolensk( died 1204) and Agrafena Rostislavna( died 1237).
Malfrida
Malfrida( died 1000) was probably the Bohemian wife of the grand prince of Kiev Vladimir I of Kiev.
Primary Chronicle mentioned about a death of woman named" Malfrida".
Russian historian Vasily Tatishchev supposed that Malfrida was a Bohemian wife of Vladimir I of Kiev.
Other historians supposed that Malfida was identical to Malusha.
Elisiv of Kiev
Elisaveta Yaroslavna of Kiev (Norwegian: "Ellisif" or "Elisiv" ,1025 – c. 1067), was a Princess of Kiev and Queen Consort of King Harald III of Norway.

He was the son of Iziaslav II of Kiev and the brother of Mstislav II of Kiev.
Place of birth
The place of birth( POB) or birthplace is the place where a person was born.
This place is often used in legal documents, together with name and date of birth, to uniquely identify a person.
As a general rule with respect to passports, the place of birth is determined to be the country that currently has" sovereignty" over the actual place of birth, regardless of when the birth actually occurred.
The place of birth is not necessarily the place where the parents of the new baby live.
If the baby is born in a hospital in another place, that place is the place of birth.
In many countries, this also means that the government requires that the birth of the new baby is registered in the place of birth.
Some countries place less or no importance on the place of birth, instead using alternative geographical characteristics for the purpose of identity documents.
For example, Sweden has used the concept of" födelsehemortdomicile of birth") since 1947.
This means that the domicile of the baby's mother is the registered place of birth.
The location of the maternity ward or other physical birthplace is considered unimportant.
Similarly, Switzerland uses the concept of" Heimatortlieu d'origineluogo d'origineplace of origin" in German, French and Italian respectively).
A child born to Swiss parents is automatically assigned the place of origin of the parent with the same last name, so the child either gets their mother's or father's place of origin.
A child born to one Swiss parent and one foreign parent acquires the place of origin of their Swiss parent.
In a Swiss passport and identity card, the holder's place of origin is stated, not their place of birth.
In some countries( primarily in the Americas), the place of birth automatically determines the nationality of the baby, a practice often referred to by the Latin phrase" jus soli".
Almost all countries outside the Americas instead attribute nationality based on the nationality( ies) of the baby's parents( referred to as" jus sanguinis").
There can be some confusion regarding the place of birth if the birth takes place in an unusual way: when babies are born on an airplane or at sea, difficulties can arise.
The place of birth of such a person depends on the law of the countries involved, which include the nationality of the plane or ship, the nationality( ies) of the parents and/ or the location of the plane or ship( if the birth occurs in the territorial waters or airspace of a country).
Some administrative forms may request the applicant's" country of birth".
It is important to determine from the requester whether the information requested refers to the applicant's" place of birth" or" nationality at birth".
For US citizens born abroad who under the US Constitution acquire US citizenship at the time of birth, the nationality at birth will be USA( American), while the place of birth would be the country in which the actual birth takes place.
Maria Mstislavna of Kiev
Maria Mstislavna of Kiev( died 1179), was a Grand Princess consort of Kiev by marriage to Prince Vsevolod II of Kiev.
She was the daughter of Mstislav I of Kiev and Christina Ingesdotter of Sweden.
Her marriage was arranged in 1116 to facilitate better relations between her father and spouse, who were long standing enemies.
During the reign of her spouse, she was known for her diplomatic ability, and often asked to mediate between her husband and brothers.
She is believed to be one of the founders of St. Cyril's Monastery.
Anastasia of Kiev
Anastasia of Kiev( 1023 – 1074/1096) was Queen of Hungary by marriage to King Andrew the White.
She was the eldest daughter of Grand Prince Yaroslav I the Wise of Kiev and Ingigerd of Sweden, and the older sister of Anne of Kiev, Queen consort of Henry I of France.
Motherland (disambiguation)

Harald Hardrada
Harald Sigurdsson, also known as Harald of Norway (– 25 September 1066) and given the epithet Hardrada (modern Norwegian: , roughly translated as "stern counsel" or "hard ruler") in the sagas, was King of Norway (as Harald III) from 1046 to 1066.
In addition, he unsuccessfully claimed the Danish throne until 1064 and the English throne in 1066.
Before becoming king, Harald had spent around fifteen years in exile as a mercenary and military commander in Kievan Rus' and of the Varangian Guard in the Byzantine Empire.
When he was fifteen years old, in 1030, Harald fought in the Battle of Stiklestad together with his half-brother Olaf Haraldsson (later Saint Olaf).
Olaf sought to reclaim the Norwegian throne, which he had lost to the Danish king Cnut the Great two years prior.
In the battle, Olaf and Harald were defeated by forces loyal to Cnut, and Harald was forced into exile to Kievan Rus' (the sagas').
He thereafter spent some time in the army of Grand Prince Yaroslav the Wise, eventually obtaining rank as a captain, until he moved on to Constantinople with his companions around 1034.
In Constantinople, he soon rose to become the commander of the Byzantine Varangian Guard, and saw action on the Mediterranean Sea, in Asia Minor, Sicily, possibly in the Holy Land, Bulgaria and in Constantinople itself, where he became involved in the imperial dynastic disputes.
Harald amassed considerable wealth during his time in the Byzantine Empire, which he shipped to Yaroslav in Kievan Rus' for safekeeping.
He finally left the Byzantines in 1042, and arrived back in Kievan Rus' in order to prepare his campaign of reclaiming the Norwegian throne.
Possibly to Harald's knowledge, in his absence the Norwegian throne had been restored from the Danes to Olaf's illegitimate son Magnus the Good.
In 1046, Harald joined forces with Magnus's rival in Denmark
(Magnus had also become king of Denmark), the pretender Sweyn II of Denmark, and started raiding the Danish coast.
Magnus, unwilling to fight his uncle, agreed to share the kingship with Harald, since Harald in turn would share his wealth with him.
The co-rule ended abruptly the next year as Magnus died, and Harald thus became the sole ruler of Norway.
Domestically, Harald crushed all local and regional opposition, and outlined the territorial unification of Norway under a national governance.
Harald's reign was probably one of relative peace and stability, and he instituted a viable coin economy and foreign trade.
Probably seeking to restore Cnut's "North Sea Empire", Harald also claimed the Danish throne, and spent nearly every year until 1064 raiding the Danish coast and fighting his former ally, Sweyn.
Although the campaigns were successful, he was never able to conquer Denmark.
Not long after Harald had renounced his claim to Denmark, the former Earl of Northumbria, Tostig Godwinson, brother of the newly chosen (but reigning not for long) English king Harold Godwinson (also known as Harold of Wessex), pledged his allegiance to Harald and invited him to claim the English throne.
Harald went along and invaded Northern England with 10,000 troops and 300 longships in September 1066, raided the coast and defeated English regional forces of Northumbria and Mercia in the Battle of Fulford near York.
Although initially successful, Harald was defeated and killed in an attack by Harold Godwinson's forces in the Battle of Stamford Bridge, which wiped out almost his entire army.
Modern historians have often considered Harald's death, which brought an end to his invasion, as the end of the Viking Age.
