When Olga of Kyiv's husband Igor was killed in the year 945, she embarked on one of the wildest revenge tours in history, showing no mercy to the killers. We are joined by pod favourite Michelle Brasier to hear about this wild tale from the Early Middle Ages!
This is a comedy/history podcast, the report begins at approximately 13:13 (though as always, we go off on tangents throughout the report).
