Yaropolk Izyaslavich (died 1087) was a
Knyaz (prince) during the eleventh-century in the
Kievan Rus' kingdom and was the
King of Rus (1076–1078). The son of Grand Prince
Izyaslav Yaroslavich by a Polish princess named
Gertruda, he is visible in papal sources by the early 1070s but largely absent in contemporary Rus sources until his father's death in 1078. During his father's exile in the 1070s, Yaropolk can be found acting on his father's behalf in an attempt to gain the favor of the
German emperors and the
papal court of
Pope Gregory VII. His father returned to Kiev in 1077 and Yaropolk followed.
