Malfrida

Malfrida or Malfrid is the name of a woman who died in 1000 according to the Primary Chronicle (PVL).

Russian historian Vasily Tatishchev believe that Malfrida was a Bohemian wife of Vladimir I of Kiev. Other historians believe that Malfrida was identical to Malusha.

Malfrida may have bore two sons to Vladimir:

• Svyatoslav of Smolensk (d. 1015)
• Mstislav of Chernigov (d. 1036) - probably his mother was Rogneda of Polotsk.
