The fate of all Vladimir's daughters, whose number is around nine, is uncertain. His wives, concubines, and their children were as follows: 
* [[Olava, Grand Princess of Kiev|Olava]] or Allogia ([[Varangian]] or [[Czechs|Czech]]), speculative; she might have been mother of Vysheslav while others claim that it is a confusion with [[Helena Lekapene]]
** Vysheslav (c. 977{{snd}}c. 1010), Prince of Novgorod (988–1010)<ref>{{cite book |last1=Feldbrugge |first1=Ferdinand J.

* [[Irina, Grand Princess of Kiev|Irina]], a widow of [[Yaropolk I of Kiev|Yaropolk I]], a Greek nun
** [[Sviatopolk I of Kiev|Sviatopolk the Accursed]] (born c. 979), possibly the surviving son of Yaropolk
* [[Rogneda of Polotsk|Rogneda]] (the daughter of [[Rogvolod]]); later upon divorce she entered a convent taking the Christian name of Anastasia
** [[Izyaslav of Polotsk]] (born c. 979, Kiev), Prince of Polotsk (989–1001)
** [[Yaroslav the Wise]] (no earlier than 983), Prince of [[Rostov, Yaroslavl Oblast|Rostov]]<ref>{{cite book |last1=Pchelov |first1=E.V. |title=Rurikovichi: Istoriya dinastii |date=2002 |location=Moscow |edition=Online edition (No longer available)}}</ref> (988–1010), Prince of Novgorod (1010–1034), Grand Prince of Kiev (1016–1018, 1019–1054). He was likely a son of [[Anna Porphyrogenita]] rather than Rogneda.<ref>William Humphreys, "Agatha, mother of St. Margaret: the Slavic versus the Salian solutions - a critical overview", ''Foundations'', 1(1):31-43; Joseph Edwards, "Editorial", ''Foundations'', 1(2):74; William Humphreys, "Agatha ‘the Greek’ – Exploring the Slavic solution", ''Foundations'', 1(4):275-288.</ref><ref>Arrignon, Jean Pierre (1983).

A later analysis of his skeletal remains also corroborates this view.<ref>Валерий Борисович Перхавко (2006).

** Vsevolod (c. 984{{snd}}1013), possibly the Swedish Prince Wissawald of [[Volhynia]] (c. 1000), was perhaps the first husband of [[Estrid Svendsdatter]]
** Mstislav, distinct from Mstislav of Chernigov, possibly died as an infant, if he was ever born
** [[Mstislav of Chernigov]] (born c. 983), Prince of [[Tmutarakan]] (990–1036), Prince of [[Chernigov]] (1024–1036), other sources claim him to be the son of other mothers (Adela, [[Malfrida]], or some other Bulgarian wife)
** Predslava, a [[concubine]] of [[Bolesław I Chrobry]] according to [[Gesta principum Polonorum]]
** Premislava, (died 1015), some sources state that she was a wife of the [[Ladislas the Bald|Duke Laszlo (Vladislav) "the Bald"]] of the [[Árpád dynasty|Arpadians]]
** Mstislava, in 1018 was taken by [[Bolesław I Chrobry]] among the other daughters
* Bulgarian Adela, some sources claim that Adela is not necessarily Bulgarian as Boris and Gleb may have been born from some other wife
** [[Boris and Gleb|Boris]] (born c. 986), Prince of Rostov (c. 1010{{snd}}1015), remarkable is the fact that the Rostov Principality as well as the Principality of [[Murom]] used to border the territory of the [[Volga Bolgars]]
** [[Boris and Gleb|Gleb]] (born c. 987), Prince of Murom (1013–1015), as is Boris, Gleb is also claimed to be the son of [[Anna Porphyrogenita]].<ref name=":0">Shepherd, Jonathan (2003).

** Stanislav (born c. 985{{snd}}1015), Prince of Smolensk (988–1015), possibly of another wife and the fate of whom is not certain
** [[Sudislav]] (died 1063), Prince of [[Pskov]] (1014–1036), possibly of another wife, but he is mentioned in [[Patriarch Nikon|Nikon]]'s Chronicles. He spent 35 years in prison and later became a monk.
* [[Malfrida]]
** Sviatoslav (c. 982{{snd}}1015), Prince of Drevlians (990–1015)
* [[Anna Porphyrogenita]]
** Theophana, a wife of Novgorod [[posadnik]] [[Ostromir]], a grandson of semi-legendary [[Dobrynya]]<ref name=":0" /> (highly doubtful is the fact of her being Anna's offspring)[''[[Wikipedia:Citation needed|citation needed]]'']
* a granddaughter of [[Otto the Great]] (possibly Rechlinda Otona [Regelindis])
** [[Maria Dobroniega of Kiev]] (born c. 1012), the Duchess of Poland (1040–1087), married around 1040 to [[Casimir I the Restorer]], Duke of Poland, her maternity as daughter of this wife is deduced from her apparent age
* other possible family
** Vladimirovna, an out-of-marriage daughter (died 1044), married to [[Bernard, Margrave of the Nordmark]].
** Pozvizd (born prior to 988), a son of Vladimir according to [[Hustyn Chronicles]]. He, possibly, was the Prince Khrisokhir mentioned by [[Niketas Choniates]].
