Yaropolk III Yaroslavich (after 1174 â after 1212 / before 1223) was a Kievan Rus' prince. He was prince of Novgorod (1197).
Yaropolk was the younger son of Yaroslav Vsevolodovich (who was the prince of Starodub or Chernigov when Yaropolk was born), by his wife Irene.
Vsevolod Svyatoslavich probably gave Vyshgorod to YaropolkâÂÂs brother, Rostislav Yaroslavich, and Yaropolk joined his brother. When the royalty went to in Kiev in the spring of 1223, it's uncertain that Yaropolk and Rostislav had died by that time.
