From the Russian History in Portrait page on Vsevolod Yaroslavich (Grand Prince):
http://www.rulex.ru/01030958.htm
Всеволод Ярославич - сын Ярослава I , родился в 1030 г. По смерти отца, как третий по старшинству, сел в Переяславле. В 1073 г. вместе с братом Святославом прогнал из Киева Изяслава и передвинулся в Чернигов.
По смерти Святослава некоторое время занимал киевский стол, но затем уступил его добровольно Изяславу. Смерть Изяслава вновь доставила ему великокняжеский стол, на котором он и оставался до своей смерти в 1093 г.
В делах управления Всеволоду помогал сын его Владимир Мономах . Летописец очень тепло отзывается о Всеволоде, хотя и делает ему упрек за предпочтение своей младшей дружины старшей киевской.
В новом энциклопедическом словаре приведен следующий текст этой статьи.
Всеволод-Андрей Ярославич, великий князь Киевский, любимый сын Ярослава I, родился в 1030 г. По смерти отца сел в Переяславле-Южном. В 1054 г. он разбил за рекой Сулой торков, на которых ходил и в 1060 г., а в 1061 г. сам разбит был половцами; в 1067 г. участвовал во взятии братьями Минска и поражении князя Полоцкого Всеслава Брячиславича , а в следующем году, вместе с братьями же, побит был половцами на реке Альте.
В 1073 г. Всеволод помогал брату своему, Святославу Черниговскому, отнять великокняжеский стол у старшего из братьев, Изяслава, а по смерти Святослава (1077) сам занял было Киев, но уступил его возвратившемуся из Польши Изяславу, от которого тогда же получил Чернигов, откуда через год был изгнан Олегом Святославичем .
Всеволод бежал в Киев; в том же году с братом Изяславом они дали битву Олегу на Нежатиной ниве, где великий князь пал, а побежденный Олег бежал в Тмутаракань. Всеволод уже бесспорно занял Киев, а в Чернигове посадил сына Владимира.
Олег не успокоился после поражения: в 1079 г., наняв половцев, вместе с братом Романом он подошел к Переяславлю, - но половцы, подкупленные Всеволодом, изменили братьям: Роман был убит ими, а Олега отправили в Грецию; в Тмутаракань великий князь послал своего посадника. В последние годы своей жизни Всеволод не принимал активного участия в правлении и делал только распоряжения, которые приводил в исполнение знаменитый сын его Владимир Мономах. Набожный христианин, трезвый и целомудренный человек, знавший пять чужих языков, но слабый как государь, Всеволод скончался в 1093 году.
Он женат был дважды:
1) с 1046 г. на неизвестной по имени (умерла в 1067 г.), которую летописи называют "греческою царевною", "грекинею" и "монамахинею" (по мнению некоторых - Анна, дочь Константина Мономаха); от нее он имел сына Владимира и дочь Янку (Анну);
2) на Анне - по Миллеру, княжне Половецкой (умерла в 1111 г.).

Men deres nevø Oleg Svyatoslavish, en sønn til den tidligere herskeren i Chernigiv, var ikke villig til å kompromisse. Han brakte inn en polovtsi-arme for å angripe Vsyevolod i 1078. Vsyevolod flyktet til Kijev hvor hans bror Izyaslav raskt organiserte en redningsarme. Når så Izyaslav døde i slaget mot Oleg utenfor Chernigiv, flyttet Vsyevolod til Kijev. I et familiekompromiss overtok Oleg Chernigiv.

VSEVOLOD Iaroslavich, son of IAROSLAV I "Mudriy/the Wise" Grand Prince of Kiev & his second wife Ingigerd Olafsdottir of Sweden (1030-13 Apr 1093, bur Kiev, Church of St Sophia).
The Primary Chronicle records the birth of Vsevolod "a fourth son" to Vladimir in 1030[335]. Snorre names "Valdemar, Vissivald and Holte the Bold" as the children of "King Jarisleif" & his wife[336].
In accordance with the terms of his father's testament, he succeeded in 1054 as Prince of Pereyaslavl, the territory including Rostov, the whole Volga, Oka and Klazma river basin and the region of Bielooziero[337].
He was defeated [1062] by the Kuman [Cumans], in their first attack against Rus. He was forced out of Pereyaslavl and retreated to Kiev[338].
He was appointed to succeed his brother Sviatoslav as Prince of Chernigov in 1073.
He succeeded his brother in 1076 as VSEVOLOD I Grand Prince of Kiev, but was deposed in 1077 by his older brother Iziaslav.
His nephew Oleg Sviatoslavich claimed Chernigov after the death of his father Sviatoslav, but was expelled by Vsevolod in Apr 1078. Oleg returned with support from the Kuman [Cumans] to take Chernigov by force, defeating Vsevolod on the river Sozh, east of Pereyaslavl, 25 Aug 1078[339]. Prince Vsevolod thereupon sought support from his brother Iziaslav, and they defeated Oleg 3 Oct 1078 at Nezhatin Meadow near Chernigov, where Prince Iziaslav was killed[340].
Vsevolod was restored once more as Grand Prince of Kiev in 1078 after Prince Iziaslav's death.
The Primary Chronicle records the death 13 Apr 1093 of Vsevolod son of Yaroslav and his place of burial[341].
m firstly (1046) [MARIA] [Irina], daughter of [--- Monomachos] & his wife --- ([1030/35]-1067).
The Primary Chronicle refers to the wife of Vsevolod as "the Greek princess" but does not name her or give her origin[342]. The primary source which states her name has not yet been identified. She and her marriage are not referred to in Greek sources.
No doubt her belonging to the Monomachos family has been assumed, firstly because her son is generally known as "Vladimir Monomakh" and secondly because Emperor Konstantinos IX Monomachos ruled in Byzantium at the date of her marriage, but no information has been found to corroborate this relationship.
It is unlikely that she was the daughter of Emperor Konstantinos himself as he is not recorded in Greek sources as having had children by any of his wives or mistresses, although her birth date range (estimated from the birth of her son in 1053) would be consistent with her having been the daughter of his second marriage. In particular, Psellos mentions no children in his detailed review of the events of the emperor´s reign.
Her birth date is estimated from her having given birth to her son in 1053. The primary source which corroborates the date of her marriage has not so far been identified.
m secondly --- Kuman princess, daughter of --- Khan of the Kumans (-1111). Baumgarten records this marriage and cites a primary source in support[343]. She adopted the name ANNA after her marriage.
Grand Prince Vsevolod I & his first wife had one child:
1. Vladimir Vsevolodich "Monomach" (b. 1053, d. 19 May 1125, Grand Prince of Kiev)
Grand Prince Vsevolod I & his second wife had five children:
1. Rostislav Vsevolodich (b. 1070, d. 26 May 1093, drowend in the Stugna River while retreating, buried St. Sophia Cathedral, Kiev, Prince of Pereyaslavl)
2. Yevpraxia/Adelheid Vsevolodich (b. 1071, d. 10 July 1109, buried Pecherskiy Caves, Kiev, married firstly Heinrich I der Lange, Graf von Stade, Markgraf der Nordmark, and secondly Emperor Heinrich IV King of Germany, divorcing him after he imprisons and abuses her)
3. Yekaterina Vsevolodovna (d. 11 August 1108, nun)
4. Unknown Vsevolodovna (d. 1089)
5. Yanka (Anna) Vsevolodovna (d. 3 November 1112, Abbess of Janczyn)
From the Wikipedia page on Vsevolod I of Kiev:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vsevolod_I,_Prince_of_Kiev
Vsevolod I Yaroslavich (Ukrainian and Russian: Всеволод I Ярославич), (1030 – 13 April 1093, died at Vyshhorod near Kiev) ruled as Grand Prince of Kiev from 1078 until his death. (Russian Wikipedia notes that he was the first to have printed the title "Prince of All Russia")
Early life
He was the fourth and favourite son of Yaroslav I the Wise by Ingigerd Olafsdottir.
To back up an armistice signed with the Byzantine Empire in 1046, his father married him to a daughter of Emperor Constantine IX Monomachos, Anastasia, a princess, d. 1067. The couple had a son, the future Vladimir Monomakh.
Upon his father's death in 1054, he received in appanage the towns of Pereyaslav, Rostov, Suzdal, and the township of Beloozero which would remain in possession of his descendants until the end of Middle Ages. Together with his elder brothers Iziaslav and Sviatoslav he formed a sort of princely triumvirate which jointly waged war on the steppe nomads, polovtsy, and compiled the first East Slavic law code. (Russian Wikipedia notes that the Pereyaslavskaya and Chernihiv dioceses increased during this period before becoming archdioceses.)
In 1067 Vsevolod's Greek wife died and he soon married a Kypchak princess, Anna. She brought him another son, who drowned after the Battle of the Stugna River, and two daughters, one becoming a nun and another, Eupraxia of Kiev, marrying Emperor Henry IV.
Reign
(The breakup of the Triumvirate is noted in Russian Wikipedia as taking place in the 1070s. Svyatoslav took Kiev in 1073, and Vsevolod received several domains that were redistributed to him.)
Upon Sviatoslav's sudden death in December 1076, Vsevolod inherited the Kievan throne, but ceded it to the banished Iziaslav in return for his patrimony of Chernigov. But Iziaslav died two years later (October 3, 1078 in the Battle of Nezhatina Meadows against exiles Oleg Svyatoslavich and Boris Vyacheslavich), and Vsevolod took the Kievan throne yet again.
(Russian Wikipedia notes: In 1079, Oleg and his brother Roman moved back from Tmutarakan near present Kerch to Kiev, but Vsevolod paid the Polovechens to kill the two. Tmutarakan was restored to Kiev's control.)
(Russia Wikipedia notes that his reign was marred by attacks by the Polovtsy and constant internecine wars between nephews and cousins among Vsevolod's grandchildren. This was the result of the imperfect law of inheritance established by Yaroslav the Wise. During his reign, Rostislav's sons were particularly active - these were the grandsons of the eldest son of Yaroslav the Wise, Vladimir. They were exiled and prohibited from receiving principalities, so they were constantly trying to take by force one city or another. Vsevolod behaved as a weak leader, failing to put down much of the strife amidst all the younger warriors. Nonetheless, compared to what was coming up in the 1090s, his reign was considered relatively stable.)
Vsevolod was versed in Greek learning and spoke five languages (Swedish as his mother's language, Greek from his wife, possibly English, Russian, and Polovtsy). Since he lost most of his battles, his eldest son, Vladimir Monomakh, a grand and famous warrior, did most of the fighting for his father.
Last years of his reign were clouded by grave illness, and Vladimir Monomakh presided over the government.
(Russian Wikipedia notes that foreign policy under Vsevolod was marked by intensified relations with the Holy Roman Empire. Emperor Henry IV married his daughter Yevpraxia/Adelheid. The transition of Russia into an enemy of the Empire was probably associated with the scandalous conflict between Yevpraxia and Henry: Vsevolod's daughter fled from Germany to Verona, and appearing before Pope Urban II, she accused her husband of abusing her, hosting orgies, and participation in Satanic rituals.)
Children
Vsevolod and his first wife Anastasia (daughter of Constantine IX Monomachos - Ben notes that FMG found that this was unlikely, but she may still have been somehow related, she died in 1067) had only one known son:
1. Vladimir II Monomakh (1053 - 19 May 1125).
Vsevolod and his second wife (a Polovtsian princess who died in 1111) had five known children:
1. Rostislav Vsevolodovich (1070 - 26 May 1093). Drowned while retreating from the Battle of the Stugna River.
2. Eupraxia of Kiev (1071 - 20 July 1109). Married Henry IV, Holy Roman Emperor.
3. Catherine Vsevolovna (d. 11 August 1108). A nun. Her date of death is recorded in the Primary Chronicle.
4. Maria Vsevolodovna (d. 1089).
5. Anna Vsevolodovna (d. 3 November 1112). Abbess. Visited Constantinople in 1089.
(Records at St. Sophia Cathedral in Kiev note that Dmytro, a militiaman of Vsevolod, wrote that a "good Russian prince" died on Wednesday before dinner and was buried the next day, Maundy Thursday, April 14, 1093.)

Early life
He was the fourth and favourite son of Yaroslav I the Wise by Ingigerd Olafsdottir.
To back up an armistice signed with the Byzantine Empire in 1046, his father married him to a daughter of Emperor Constantine IX. The couple had a son, the future Vladimir Monomakh.
Upon his father's death in 1054, he received in appanage the towns of Pereyaslav, Rostov, Suzdal, and the township of Beloozero which would remain in possession of his descendants until the end of Middle Ages. Together with his elder brothers Iziaslav and Sviatoslav he formed a sort of princely triumvirate which jointly waged war on the steppe nomads, polovtsy, and compiled the first East Slavic law code. 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, Eupraxia of Kiev, marrying Emperor Henry IV.
Reign
Upon Sviatoslav's death in 1076, Vsevolod inherited the Kievan throne, but ceded it to the banished Iziaslav in return for his patrimony of Chernigov. But Iziaslav died 2 years later, and Vsevolod took the Kievan throne yet again. Vsevolod was versed in Greek learning and spoke 5 languages. Since he lost most of his battles, his eldest son, Vladimir Monomakh, a grand and famous warrior, did most of the fighting for his father. Last years of his reign were clouded by grave illness, and Vladimir Monomakh presided over the government. -------------------- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vsevolod_of_Kiev
