He was the son of Izyaslav I Yaroslavich, prince of Kyiv and Gertrud,
Polish princess. His son was Rostislav, prince of
Kyiv, who died relatively young in 1093. He was crown prince of Kyiv with his
father as ruler. Mstislav accompanied his father when the latter fled Kyiv for
Poland during the uprising that brought Vseslav to the throne. Then in 1068 he
led Izyaslav's army (including Polish support) back to Kyiv and supervised the
execution of the ringleaders. He carried the war against Vseslav back to
Vseslav's home town, Polotsk, and was appointed by Izyaslav to rule, but died
on the spot in 1069. He is shown on this family chart.
