Hexenherz 11/13/20 3:01:31 PM #35:	I think in the US, Olga of Kyiv is a good example. There was a tribe of people that murdered her husband so she took the throne. And then this tribe kept trying to court her. I don't remember the full sequence of events, but some examples of what she did... Invited a group of dignitaries to her palace. They arrived by boat. She had her people go out and pick the boat up and carry them to her and they were commenting on what a grand welcome it was. She had her guys dump them in a giant pit and bury them alive, and allegedly asked if the welcome was as luxurious as they had expected. Invited another group of the "finest men" from the tribe that killed her husband to a grand feast, with the promise that she would select one to be her new husband. They came, ate, got drunk, then she invited them to a bathhouse... Locked them in and set it on fire. And then she laid siege to the settlement where this tribe was and offered to end it if each household gave her a number of their finest pigeons and other birds. They were quick to accept. She then had little pouches of volatile flammable powder attached to the birds' legs and released them back into the town. They returned to their nesting spots in the houses and burned every one down. She was later declared a saint in the orthodox church there >_> --- FFXIV: Lucius Hexenseele (Brynhildr) \| RS3: UltimaSuende . 99 WC/Fish/Cook/Fletch/Div/Mining/Smithing/Thieving/Crafting/RC https://letterboxd.com/BMovieBro/ <cite>Hexenherz posted [p:947126891] in Who are so...
