Prince Izyaslav Ingvarevich

Izyaslav Ingvarevich was a young prince of the Rurik dynasty who is believed to have fallen at the Battle of the Kalka River in 1223, when the first Mongol reconnaissance force annihilated the combined armies of the Rus princes. His remains connect a name from the chronicles to the catastrophe that foreshadowed the Mongol conquest of Eastern Europe.

The genome-wide data behind this entry was published in Population genomics of the Viking world.

Every Ancestrify Global25 report includes the free Notable Matches lens: your coordinates are compared to every sequenced member of every catalog entry, and the distance to the closest member is reported — a Euclidean distance in the same 25-dimensional space the Distance lens uses. Because this is a single real individual, not a population average, distances naturally run larger than population distances — that is expected, not a poor result. And one thing is never claimed: a small distance means similar ancestry composition, not that Prince Izyaslav Ingvarevich is your ancestor.

  Who was Prince Izyaslav Ingvarevich?

  Prince Izyaslav Ingvarevich (c. 1180–1223 CE, Ukraine) is one of the Historical figures entries in our Notable Matches catalog, represented by one sequenced ancient genome published in the study "Population genomics of the Viking world".

• 02

  What does "matching" Prince Izyaslav Ingvarevich mean?

  Your Global25 coordinates are compared to the entry's sequenced members and the distance to the closest one is reported — a Euclidean distance in the same 25-dimensional reference space the Distance lens uses. A notable entry is one person or one small burial group, not a population average, so distances naturally run larger than population distances.

• 03

  Is Prince Izyaslav Ingvarevich my ancestor?

  No — and no DNA test can show that. A small distance means your genome sits near this individual's in a shared reference space: similar ancestry composition, not descent. Ancestrify never claims a notable individual is your ancestor or relative.

  How do I see my own distance to Prince Izyaslav Ingvarevich?

  Notable Matches is a free lens on every Ancestrify Global25 report — never sold separately. Order the G25 analysis (29.99 EUR), and your report ranks your coordinates against the full catalog, with a portrait, dossier and map for every entry. The public demo shows the lens with example data.
