Roman Mikhailovich
Roman Mikhailovich the Old was a Rus' prince of the Olgovichi clan. He was Prince of Bryansk, and probably also Prince of Chernigov, although most primary sources only mention him as Prince of Bryansk.
Roman was the second son of Mikhail Vsevolodovich of Chernigov by his wife, Elena Romanovna, a daughter of prince Roman Mstislavich of Halych. His mother most likely persuaded her husband to name their second son after her father. Around 1243, Roman’s elder brother, Rostislav Mikhailovich was disowned by their father when he decided to stay in Hungary.
