(5 years ago)In ancient Russia, Prince Igor and Princess Oga were an example of a powerful couple, Igor named “Wisdom” was the son of Ryuk, the founder of Russia, and Olga was known throughout the kingdom as the beautiful “The beautiful Olga”. He subdued the tribes of Uglich, Drevlian and Pechen. He directed two campaigns against [...]
The unsuccessful battle with the Byzantines ended with a 944 trade agreement. The feudalism process accelerated in its time in Chiyev, Russia, but there were continuing revolts because of high stalwarm taxes was led by the Drevlanian tribe. In their confrontation, Igor was captured and killed in 945. Olga is destroyed. Her sadness was so great that every time someone offered her to get married again, they ended up dead.
She was not alone, with Igor having a three-year-old son, Svjatoslav.
While Igor's blood was still fresh in their hands, the Drevliians sent a message to Olga in which they wrote that Igor was like a wolf destroying everything before him, but that she was considered good and that it would be best to marry their Prince Mala. So they tried to play Cupid with the intention of gaining control over the entire kingdom. Olga, however, had other plans with people suggesting marriage.
She told them that the marriage offer was exactly what she wanted and to show respect for Kiev's people, she told them to all board a ship for the first and to say hello. When it came to this, her men sank the ship into a ditch and buried them alive.
But that was not the end. Olga's revenge had just begun. After that, she sent the message to the Drevlian writing: “If you really want my presence, send me your most powerful men to escort you so that your prince can properly come to your prince”. After receiving her message, the Drevlians did what she asked.
When the men arrived at Kiev, Olga greeted them with a smile on their faces and relaxed in the thermal baths (as was the custom at the time). They accepted her offer, and when they entered, she commanded that the door be shut and that all the object be burned. She again wrote to the Drevlians, asking them for a large quantity of honey but also to prepare for her husband a large burial to apologize for his death. Of course, the Drevliians heard it again, and Olga acted normally and warmly at the funeral, broadcasting KultPlus.
At the festival after the funeral, she waited for all to get drunk and then took advantage of their carelessness and at one point ordered all her soldiers to kill unprepared. In her latest act of revolt against the Drevlians, she told them that they are obliged to pay a bird-shaped tax. They listened and gathered all the birds and sent them to Olga.
She took the gift and then tied a piece of rag dipped in sulfur to each bird's foot. As the night fell, residents lit their torches for light. Olga knew that birds would fly back to their owners as soon as they let them go. The rags at the feet of the birds immersed in sulfur and the burning torches kindled a great fire in which the whole city was burned.
