The Great Prince of Novgorod Vladimir Mstislavich sent his ambassadors to Prince Igor, offering him a magnificent gift: the sword, symbol of Kiev's sovereignty. In exchange, he requested permission for a great prince of Kiev to marry Princess Predslava Rostislavyovna of Suzdalia. The ambassador proposed this match in accordance with Prince Igor's desire to expand the Kievan power base and maintain close ties with neighboring countries, specifically by uniting their ruling families through matrimony. However, before he could even accept the offer or contemplate this proposal from Kiev's ruler, he died suddenly due to internal political strife that broke out within the city walls following a conflict over inheritance rights following his father Vladimir's passing. It's also believed that possibly other causes were at play like disputes among other clans present there too. With all hope of peace lost after such unfortunate events as Igor Svyatoslavich passed away shortly afterward upon learning news from his people who were greatly saddened by their beloved prince being murdered, Kievan Rus suffered heavily as rival forces exploited chaos spreading far beyond Novgorod.
