So yeah, I guess that plot point's wrapped up, good job guis

Seriously I thought season 8 was going to be bad, but holy shit, this is worse than I ever could have expected

I don't know, Daenerys sounds surprisingly similar to St. Olga of Kiev

....how

St. Olga of Kiev did not take her husband's death well to say the least

From wiki:

After Igor's death in 945, Olga ruled Kievan Rus as regent on behalf of their son Svyatoslav.[10] Little is known about Olga’s tenure as ruler of Kiev, but the Primary Chronicle does give an account of her ascension to the throne and her bloody revenge on the Drevlians for the murder of her husband as well as some insight into her role as civil leader of the Kievan people.

Phase 1:

After Igor’s death at the hands of the Drevlians, Olga assumed the throne because her three-year-old son Svyatoslav was too young to rule. The Drevlians, emboldened by their success in ambushing and killing the king, sent a messenger to Olga proposing that she marry his murderer, Prince Mal. Twenty Drevlian negotiators boated to Kiev to pass along their king’s message and to ensure Olga’s compliance. They arrived in her court and told the queen why they were in Kiev: “to report that they had slain her husband...and that Olga should come and marry their Prince Mal.”[11] Olga responded:

Your proposal is pleasing to me’ indeed, my husband cannot rise again from the dead. But I desire to honor you tomorrow in the presence of my people. Return now to your boat, and remain there with an aspect of arrogance. I shall send for you on the morrow, and you shall say, ‘We will not ride on horses nor go on foot’ carry us in our boat.’ And you shall be carried in your boat.[11]

When the Drevlians returned the next day, they waited outside Olga’s court to receive the honor she had promised. When they repeated the words she had told them to say, the people of Kiev rose up, carrying the Drevlians in their boat. The ambassadors believed this was a great honor, as if they were being carried by [palanquin]. The people brought them into the court where they were dropped into the trench Olga had ordered dug the day before and buried alive. It is written that Olga bent down to watch them as they were buried and “inquired whether they found the honor to their taste.”[11]

Phase 2:

Olga then sent a message to the Drevlians that they should send “their distinguished men [to her in Kiev], so that she might go to their Prince with due honor.”[11] The Drevlians, unaware of the fate of the first diplomatic party, gathered another party of men to send “the best men who governed the land of Dereva.”[11] When they arrived, Olga commanded her people to draw them a bath and invited the men to appear before her after they had bathed. When the Drevlians entered the bathhouse, Olga had it set on fire from the doors, so that all the Drevlians within burned to death.[11]

Phase 3:

Olga sent another message to the Drevlians, this time ordering them to “prepare great quantities of mead in the city where you killed my husband, that I may weep over his grave and hold a funeral feast for him.”[11] When Olga and a small group of attendants arrived at Igor’s tomb, she did indeed weep and hold a funeral feast. The Drevlians sat down to join them and began to drink heavily. When the Drevlians were drunk, she ordered her followers to kill them, “and went about herself egging on her retinue to the massacre of the Drevlians.”[11] According to the Primary Chronicle, five thousand Drevlians were killed on this night, but Olga returned to Kiev to prepare an army to finish off the survivors.

Phase 4 (the most Daenerys like part):

Huh

Olga then led her army to Iskorosten (what is today Korosten), the city where her husband had been slain, and laid siege to the city. The siege lasted for a year without success, when Olga thought of a plan to trick the Drevlians. She sent them a message: “Why do you persist in holding out? All your cities have surrendered to me and submitted to tribute, so that the inhabitants now cultivate their fields and their lands in peace. But you had rather tide of hunger, without submitting to tribute.”[12] The Drevlians responded that they would submit to tribute, but that they were afraid she was still intent on avenging her husband. Olga answered that the murder of the messengers sent to Kiev, as well as the events of the feast night, had been enough for her. She then asked them for a small request: “Give me three pigeons...and three sparrows from each house.”[12] The Drevlians rejoiced at the prospect of the siege ending for so small a price, and did as she asked.
Olga then instructed her army to attach a piece of sulphur bound with small pieces of cloth to each bird. At nightfall, Olga told her soldiers to set the pieces aflame and release the birds. They returned to their nests within the city, which subsequently set the city ablaze. As the Primary Chronicle tells it: “There was not a house that was not consumed, and it was impossible to extinguish the flames, because all the houses caught fire at once.”[12]As the people fled the burning city, Olga ordered her soldiers to catch them, killing some of them and giving the others as slaves to her followers. She left the remnant to pay tribute.

What a woman

Olga is QUEEEEN

The orthodoxy give her the title of Isoapostolikos, or equal of the apostles because she was instrumental for the spread Christianity throughout all of Russia.

Are you talking about St Olga?

She was epic

Some man with balls of steel convinced her to become Christian sometime after that incident with the Drevlians and although her son refused to convert, her grandson did and later ruled the people of Kieven Rus

Yeah, St. Olga

I know

I read a whole lot about Olga

I was filling in ImperealZealot and Skeezits

But yeah, she's great

I wish she was better known by people in the Western rites

Do the western rites consider her a saint?

I do, but I don't know if she's officially recognized by us

Everything I find says only that she's venerated in the Eastern rites

I don't know who's braver, her converter or her husband

her husband; a man picks a wife based on fearful of death he is.
