Notes for Sviatoslov I IGOREVICH Grand Prince Of Kiev
He was of average height but stalwart build. He shaved his blond head and beard but wore a bushy moustache and a sidelock as a sign of nobility.
The Byzantine emperor induced the Pechenegs to kill Sviatoslav. He was ambushed and slain when he tried to cross the cataracts near Khortitsa. His skull was made into a chalice and guilded by the Pecheneg clan. This is considered to be in recognition of a brave enemy.
