No I don't you’re living out how her husband was killed. Igor of Kyiv was a greedy taxmongering prince, and arrived to unilaterally demand tribute from the Drevlians. They rightfully treated him as he deserved, performing a pagan ritual involving tying two young birch trees to the ground, tying Igor’s legs to each tree, and then cutting the ropes, letting the trees fling forward back into place. One can imagine what happened to Igor in his last seconds.

[@ValensBellator]

To be fair to Olga, those men she killed were members of the group that had just killed her husband. Likewise, she understood that were she to marry the new husband would become the ruler, and this would almost certainly result in the disinheritance and death of her son who was only three. She pretty much went on a revenge rampage akin to a John Wick film against the Drevlians and outmaneuvered them time after time, eventually destroying them so thoroughly that they ceased to be a threat to her reign. Also, the pigeon story is almost certainly apocryphal. She's certainly no "saint" as we think of them, then, but also not an unhinged monster... no "saintly" actions would have allowed for both her and her son to emerge from that situation alive. She did what she had to do, and it worked.

[@reluttr2]

The reason she was made into a saint was because 1. she was the first of her people to convert and 2. she played a major role in spreading the religion to her people. But that being said... what she did was pretty on par with some of the stories told in the bible. People just used to be that way, you either survived or died... usually both. Also, keep in mind Dracula was a defender of the faith and he would eat his dinner outside surrounded by his impaled enemies.

If you want wacky weapons, you need look no further than the Huolongjing, or the Fire Dragon Manual of medieval China. Just a few examples of the goodies one can find in such a volume (and remember, these names are actually what they called them): “Flying cloud thunderclap eruptor”- A cannon firing little iron shells filled with substances that would violently react when the shell shattered and they mixed together (which is also how greek fire worked btw). “Divine bone-dissolving fire oil bomb”- A frag grenade filled to the brim with little iron pellets. “Divine moving phalanx-breaking fierce-fire sword-shield”- A shield which fired many fire lances (spears with explosives attached to the ends) into enemy formations.

Turtle Guy, as you probably well know it depends from what language you are transliterating from. If you are transliterating from Old East Slavic (as written in such documents as the Lavretian Chronicle) it would be Olga of Kyjev, from Ukrainian it would be Olha of Kyiv (pronounced like Kyjiv or Kyyiv), and from Russian it would be Olga of Kiev (pronounced Kijev or Kiyev)

Cannons. Gunpowder is seen as the most revolutionary discovery in warfare because of cannons. Cannons forced all fortresses to be reconstructed, since the tall, straight walls that had stood sieges agains catapults and trebuchets so effectively were incredibly easy to take down with cannons. The walls of Constantinople, that had withstood centuries of sieges were utterly destroyed by the ottomans using cannons. So yeah, next time you want to do that shit meme about catapults and trebuchets, remember: cannons are the best siege weapon, period.

That Olga story is similar to another story that just so happens to take place in the same period. In 1207 AD, Genghis Khan sieged the Chinese city of Volohai. The city was heavily fortified, but at the time, the mongols didn’t really use siege weapons to get through the defenses, so for once, the Calvary might of the Mongol horde were useless. So, Genghis offered a deal to Volohai: he would lift the siege if the city hands over 1,000 cats and 10,000 swallows, which the city agreed. When the demands were met, Genghis ordered his men to tie cotton puffs to the tails of the cats and birds and set them on fire, causing them to run back to the city terrified and immolated. This caused thousands of fires to break out in the city at the same time, forcing the citizens and garrison to put out the fires, giving the mongols the opening they need to attack and conquer the city. In the end, Volohai fell and the mongols captured Chinese engineers to have them make siege weapons, allowing them to take on other fortified cities without the need to setting pussies on fire.
