I can find very little about this person. Janet Martin 2007 p. 129 mentions a Mikhalko as a son of IURII (Yuri Dolgorukiy), but that's it. The fact that his name isn't capitalised means he never reigned as grand prince of Kiev according to Martin (just like his brothers Andrey Bogolyubsky and Vsevolod the Big Nest, but unlike GLEB of Kiev). Martin goes on (p. 130): The death of Andrei Bogoliubskii also marked the end of an era in dynastic relations within Kievan Rus . The Iur e vichi, one of the chief contending lines for succession and pillars of support for the traditional order, dropped out of the competition for the Kievan throne. Andrei’s brother and successor Vsevolod (ruled 1177–1212),... Given that Andrey was assassinated on 28 June 1174, she is skipping the interregnum caused by his death. As she recounts on p. 128: His death triggered a struggle within his principality that occupied the attention of its princes and their retainers until 1177 , when Vsevolod, Dolgorukii’s youngest son, and his Vladimir supporters were victorious. If this Mikhalko guy did indeed exist, his "rule" was contested and temporary, and held no universal recognition. I'd reckon he died by the blade, not in his sleep, but we'll have to find better sources to confirm that. NLeeuw (talk) 21:45, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
