Abstract
The article is devoted to the issue of the seniority of the sons of the Polotsk prince Vseslav Bryachislavich. The article hypothesizes that Vseslav Bryachislavich named his eldest sons in honor of Boris and Gleb—the sons of prince Vladimir Svyatoslavich. Boris and Gleb Vladimirovich had not only dynastic names, but also baptismal names—Roman and Davyd. Vseslav Bryachislavich named his first two sons the dynastic names of the Vladimirovichs (Boris, Gleb), and the third and fourth—their baptismal names (Roman, Davyd). The article also hypothesizes that Vseslav Bryachislavich did not have a son named Rogvolod. All chronicle contexts in which researchers tend to see Vseslav's son with that name refer to Vseslav's grandson, Rogvolod Borisovich.
