INDEX

[9144] Amanda is daughter of Mathias ("Mack") C. Keller (1844-1926 and Harriet Ruhl (1841-1927). Ancestry.com offers: "Keller Name Meaning - German: from Middle High German kellaere 'cellarman', 'cellar master' (Latin cellarius, denoting the keeper of the cella 'store chamber', 'pantry'). Hence an occupational name for the overseer of the stores, accounts, or household in general in, for example, a monastery or castle. Kellers were important as trusted stewards in a great household, and in some cases were promoted to ministerial rank. The surname is widespread throughout central Europe. English: either an occupational name for a maker of caps or cauls, from Middle English kellere, or an occupational name for an executioner, from Old English cwellere."

'... named Vasilii at my baptism by my pious and glorious grandsire Iaroslav, but commonly known by my Russian name Vladimir, and surnamed Monomakh by my beloved father and mother and for the sake of Christian people, ... .' He was born in 1053. He was the son of Vsevolod I Yaroslavich, Prince of Pereyaslavl, Chernigov, and Kiev and Maria Monomacha. He married Gytha of Wessex, daughter of Harald II Godwinesson, King of England and Eadgyth Swanneshals (?), circa 1070 in sometime in the mid-1070s; His 1st. 2nd Prince of Pereyaslavl, 1st reign, Rus, between 1076 and 1078. 3rd Prince of Smolensk, 1st reign, Rus, between 1077 and 1095. 4th Prince of Chernigov, Rus, between 1078 and 1094. He married N. N. (?) before 1090; His 2nd. 2nd Prince of Pereyaslavl, 2nd reign, Rus, between 1094 and 1125. He was occupied with a campaign against Oleg Svyatoslavich between May 1096 and June 1096. He routed and killed the Polovets khan Tugorkan on 19 June 1096 in near Pereyaslavl, Rus. He wrote Prince Oleg Svyatoslavich of Chernigov, after he had killed his son Izyaslav in battle, calling Izyaslav 'my child - and yours' (inferring that Oleg was the godfather) after 6 September 1096. 3rd Prince of Smolensk, 2nd reign, Rus, between 1097 and 1113. He led an expedition against (the?) Polovtsy in 1103. He was named as the successor of his cousin, Grand Prince Svyatopolk II, by the veche (city council) of Kiev in 1113. He tried to restore unity to the lands of Kievan Rus, up to then beset by constant civil wars. 14th Prince of Kiev, Rus, between 1113 and 1125. He was known as an adept administrator, whose ability to curtail the internecine warfare among his princely relatives revived, if only temporarily, the declining strength of Kievan Rus. He was also noted as a builder; he founded the city of Vladimir on the Klyazma River in northeastern Russia, which by the end of the 12th century replaced Kiev as the seat of the grand prince. He left a will before 19 May 1125; In his 'Testament, which he wrote for his sons and which constitutes the earliest known example of Old Russian literature written by a layman, Vladimir recounted participating in 83 noteworthy military campaigns and recorded killing 200 Polovtsy princes. But he concludes his words with: 'Let not my sons or whoever else reads this document criticise me. I do not commend my own boldness, but I praise God and glorify his memory because he guarded me, a sinful and a wretched man, for so many years in these dangerous vicissitudes, and did not make me inactive or useless for all the necessary works of man. As you read this screed, prepare yourselves for all good works, and glorify God among his saints. Without fear of death, of war, or of wild beasts, do a man's work, my sons, as God sets it before you. If I suffered no ill from war, from wild beasts, from flood, or from falling from my horse, then surely no one can harm you and destroy you, unless that too be destined of God. But if death comes from God, then neither father, nor mother, nor brethren can hinder it, and though it is prudent to be constantly upon one's guard, the protection of God is fairer than the protection of man.'"
