Oleg II Svyatoslavich was prince of Novgorod-Seversk from 1164 until the year 1180. He was Prince of Putivl (r. 1157–1159, Kursk (r. 1159–1164), and upon his father's death, Novgorod-Seversk (r. 1164–1178).
Oleg was born around 1136 as a son of Sviatoslav Olgovich, Prince of Chernigov (r. 1154–1164), and an unnamed Cuman princess, daughter of Aepa, son of Girgen.[1] Dimnik (2003) posited that his mother died while giving birth to him, as his father remarried in 1136 to Catherine of Chernigov.[1] Oleg himself married Maria Yurievna (died 1166), daughter of Yuri Dolgorukiy and his first wife, the daughter of Aepa, son of Osen.
