As for contemporary foreign sources, Lambert of Hersfeld records that, on the Easter of 973, the Holy Roman Emperor was visited by envoys from Rus' (legati gentium Ruscorum). Lambert of Hersfeld (c 1024 — c 1088 (also called Lampert was a medieval chronicler probably a Thuringian by birth Easter ( Greek: Πάσχα Pascha or Pasxa) is the most important religious feast in the Christian Liturgical year.

The Holy Roman Emperor (Römischer Kaiser or Römisch-Deutscher Kaiser Romanorum Imperator was the elected monarch ruling over the many varying numbers of states In later centuries it was said that Yaropolk also exchanged ambassadors with the Pope. History See also History of the Papacy Catholics recognize the Pope as a successor to Saint Peter, who Jesus named as the "shepherd" and The Chronicon of Adémar de Chabannes and the life of St. Romuald (by Pietro Damiani) document how St. Adémar de Chabannes (sometimes Adhémar de Chabannes) (c 988-1034 was an eleventh century Monk, a Historian, who wrote the first Annals that Saint Romuald (c 951&ndash traditionally 19 June, c 1025/27 was the founder of the Camaldolese order and a major figure in the eleventh-century "Renaissance Saint Peter Damian, OSB ( Petrus Damiani, also Pietro Damiani or Pier Damiani; c Bruno of Querfurt was sent to Rus (Latin: Russia) and succeeded in converting a local king (one of three brothers who ruled the land) to Christianity.

Saint Adalbert ( Czech:; Wojciech c 956&ndash April 23, 997) a Bishop of Prague, was martyred in his efforts to convert the Baltic [1]
Following this line of thought, Alexander Nazarenko suggests that Yaropolk went through some preliminary rites of baptism, but was murdered by his pagan half-brother (whose own rights to the throne were questionable) before he could be formally received in the Christian faith. Alexander Vasilievich Nazarenko (born in 1948 in Panevėžys) is a Russian historian who works in the Moscow State University. In Christianity, baptism ( Greek, "immersing" "performing Ablutions " is the ritual act with the use of water by which one is admitted Paganism (from Latin paganus, meaning "country dweller rustic" is a word used to refer to various religions and religious beliefs from across the world Any information on Yaropolk's baptism according to the Latin rite would be suppressed by later Orthodox chroniclers, zealous to keep Vladimir's image of the Russian Apostle untarnished for succeeding generations. [2] It is known that Vladimir's son Yaroslav had Yaropolk's bones exhumed and christened; he also named his grandson after Yaropolk.
