Congress in Isad: Gleb and Konstantin greet the princes. Facial Chronicle, 16th century

Prince Gleb Vladimirovich of Ryazan (died 1219) was a 13th-century nobleman of Kievan Rus'. He is remembered in history as an instigator of a civil war in the Principality of Ryazan.[1][2] In a bid for the throne, in 1217 he lured his brothers to a feast at Isad and executed them all, using Cuman mercenaries. Ousted by popular revolt, he was exiled to the Wild Fields and spent his old days with the Cumans.[3]

He is a minor antagonist (and a Tatar-collaborator) during the Mongol invasion of Kievan Rus' in the historical novel Batu-Khan of Soviet author V. Jan.[4][5]
