The Most Feared Women of the Middle Ages

How did a woman remembered for brutal revenge become a saint? Olga of Kiev is part of this medieval history compilation, alongside Isabella of France and Eleanor of Aquitaine. We're revisiting the lives behind some of the Middle Ages' most intimidating reputations, including Isabella's move against Edward II and Eleanor's struggle with Henry II. Their stories take us inside royal marriages where family disputes could become matters of war. Olga’s story takes us further east, where the murder of her husband set off a campaign of revenge so brutal that it can sometimes be hard to separate history from legend.
