"Olga, the beauty" , of Kiev, Ukraine
Saint, Princess of Kiev. Possibly from Pskov. [1]
Olga was " possibly " a Pskov woman of Varangian extraction who married the future Igor of Kiev, arguably in 903. The Primary Chronicle gives 879 as her date of birth, which is rather unlikely, given the fact that her only son was probably born some 65 years after that date. After Igor's death, she ruled Kievan Rus as regent (945-c. 963) for their son, Svyatoslav.[2]
