The rest seems to be standard fare, but even this first link in not solid.
While it is unquestioned that Vladimir Monomach was son of a Monomacha, and
presumaby relative of the Emperor, that she was daughter is not so clear.
I know of no near contemporary reference that specifically states she was
his daughter, let alone by a particular wife. I would be curious as to
what Regula cites for this connection.
