The Patron Saint of Murder, Revenge, and Cersei Lannister (AKA St. Olga of Kiev)
Listen now
Description
In this episode, we cover the all-encompassing love between Prince Igor I and Princess Olga of Kiev. Sure, it’s a little Wicked, Weird, and Grim considering Igor was brutally murdered and Olga went on a murderous rampage in retaliation, but that’s just spicy true love. This episode spotlights St. Olga of Kiev, the first female ruler of what is now Russia and a woman who gives new meaning to the phrase “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned”. The men who killed her husband certainly felt her wrath, from being buried and burned alive, to being decimated by Olga’s armies. She granted no mercy, took no prisoners (well, except slaves), and managed to hold the throne for far longer than the men around her. Cersei Lannister wishes she could be this cool. Listen to us extol her virtues, simp for her a bit too much, and completely justify all the things she did because “that’s just, like, the rules of feminism”. Stick around at the end for our infamous bloopers. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/wicked-weird-and-grim/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/wicked-weird-and-grim/support
