	Description:		There are few tales of revenge as epic as that of Olga of Kiev. In 945 AD Olga set out on a campaign of vengeance that would make a lasting mark on the history of Eastern Europe. However, there is good reason to believe it never actually happened. The source that contains the tale of Olga's vengeance is among the most unreliable chronicles of the medieval era.

Tune in and find out how arrogant boat faces, burning bathhouses, and a baptism switcheroo all play a role in the story. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
