July 1147 CE

A mob attacks Igor in 1147 under the mistaken impression that he intends to usurp Iziaslav's throne.

Iziaslav's brother, Vladimir, tries to rescue Igor, but the mob tears down a balcony on which Igor has sought sanctuary, and thus kills him.

His body is dragged behind a cart and exhibited in a market before it can be salvaged by Vladimir.
