Olga of Kiev: The Saint Who Took Revenge

[00:00:00]The Drevlians killed her husband. Then asked her to marry their prince. She said yes.

[00:00:05]Her name was Olga, princess of Kiev.

[00:00:08]They sent envoys to arrange the wedding.

[00:00:10]She buried them alive. They sent finer men. She offered them a bath, only to lock the doors and burn it down.

[00:00:17]Then she came to mourn the husband they had killed. She got 5,000 Drevlians drunk and slaughtered them all.

[00:00:23]Years later, she converted to Christianity. The church made her a saint, patron saint of widows and revenge.
