Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The final Rus''-Byzantine War was, in essence, an unsuccessful naval raid against Constantinople instigated by Yaroslav I of Kiev and led by his eldest son, Vladimir of Novgorod, in 1043. The reasons for the war are disputed, as is its course. Michael Psellus, an eyewitness of the battle, left a hyperbolic account detailing how the invading Kievan Rus'' were annihilated by a superior Imperial fleet with Greek fire off the Anatolian shore. According to the Slavonic chronicles, the Kievan fleet was destroyed by a tempest. The Byzantines sent a squadron of 14 ships to pursue the dispersed monoxylae of the Rus''. They were sunk by the Kievan admiral Ivan Tvorimich, who also managed to rescue Prince Vladimir after the shipwreck. A 6,000-strong Kievan contingent under Vyshata, which did not take part in naval action, was captured and deported to Constantinople. Eight hundred of the Rus'' prisoners were blinded.
