Ярослав Мудрий – тесть Європи

The film tells about the outstanding role in the history of Ukraine of the legendary ruler of Kyivan Rus - Prince Yaroslav the Wise. Even as a child, being a lame boy and being bullied, he had no idea that he would become the one who would unite the scattered lands around Kyiv and create a powerful medieval state. His wife, the Swedish princess Ingigerda, played an important role in his reign. Together they initiated a far-sighted matrimonial policy, strengthening international alliances through the marriages of their children to European monarchs. As a result, Yaroslav's three daughters became queens of great powers - Norway, France and Hungary, cementing the influence of Kievan Rus on the political map of Europe.
