      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.

    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
      @reluttr2 6 ปีที่แล้ว +274

      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.

    My favorite part of this is Saint Tiffany because Tiffany really is a medieval name. It's short for Theophania, but you'd never find it in a fantasy or historical fiction novel since (even though it is completely accurate) it feels inaccurate for the setting due to our contemporary views...

The other one I can't recall right now but I'll look for it. It's an older webcomic that starts with a very stereotypical Conan the barbarian type dude saving a princess from an evil wizard but the wizard (I think accidentally) transforms the barbarian into a woman and he's stuck that way.
      In both instances they spell the name different but if you say it out loud you say 'Tiffany'.

    “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.

    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.

      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.

    I've always thought of Saint Olga as Judith but more incendiary and angrier. Some of the stuff she did was partially justified, but still, war crimes. Not that they had war laws at that point.
    EDIT: A bit more context: The Drevlian prince sent the people to ask her to marry _right after murdering her husband._ They killed him by tying his legs to two trees, bending them back, then letting them go, _splitting him in half._ So, she told them that she'd have a feast where she'd announce her answer. Good sign, right? Well, during said feast, she had her people _carry the ship they were in_ to a pit they had dug beforehand, then _buried the entire ship_ with them aboard. _Then_ she sent the missive saying she accepted before news got out, and so forth. She also exploited a loophole to maintain control of her domain, because the Byzantine emperor at the time was pressuring her to marry him, which... you heard what happened last time, right? But anyway, she had him sponsor her baptism, and then flipped him off by pointing out that since the baptismal sponsor was considered family, they could not marry now, since that would be legally incestuous.
    Info from my recollection of Puppet History, some of it could be a bit wrong.

      I mean, you're not wrong.
      But I was talking about the historical event, the Rape of NanJing. It was the invasion of the Manchuria region of China in World War 2.

    Fun fact. Our history teacher showed us this video during a lecture. He often showed us fun and educational videos he found on TH-cam. I can also include that during test he often included words like “bro”, “jerk” and other words that probably broke some rules but damn he’s the best teacher I’ve ever had. Me and my classmates often pissed our selves laughing during his lessons, good times man.
