The turn of the XI-XII centuries. A difficult fate befell the three Rostislavich brothers, even though they come from a princely family. Not only did they lose their father early, but they were also left without an inheritance, without inheritance, and the deserted princes could only wander around Rus' and neighboring countries. It is difficult to count on the help of other princes - they, of course, are relatives, but first of all they see in the wanderers enemies who are coveting other people's volosts, and it is better to look after the wives more closely when there is a “poor relative” in the house... There is no rest for the brothers even when wanderings are behind us: one’s inheritance, miraculously acquired, must be defended by force of arms, and even the luckiest of the three brothers, Volodar Rostislavich, does not put down his sword from year to year.
