Notes
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olga_of_Kiev
Saint Olga (Old Church Slavonic: ?????, born c. 890 died 11 July 969, Kiev) was a 
ruler of Kievan Rus' as regent (945–c. 963) for her son, Svyatoslav. She is known for 
her obliteration of the Drevlians, a tribe that had killed her husband Igor of Kiev, and 
for her efforts to spread Christianity through the Rus'; however, it would be Vladimir 
that would convert the entire nation to Christianity. Because of this, Olga is venerated 
as a saint. While her birthdate is unknown, it could be as early as AD 890 and as late 
as 5 June 925.[1]
Early life[edit]

Olga, a woman from Pskov, married the future Igor of Kiev, arguably in 903 but 
perhaps as early as 901-902. The Primary Chronicle gives 879 as her date of birth, 
which is unlikely, given the birth of her only son probably some 65 years after that 
date. After Igor's death, Olga ruled Kievan Rus as regent (945-c. 963) on behalf of 
their son Svyatoslav. She was, hypothetically, of Varangian extraction. Old Norse: 
Helga[2]
