Lolz I’m doing a report on Saint Olga. Who knew that there were so many exciting moments?
Death by trees, death by pigeon, death by alcohol. All I have to say is:
OOF

In reply to Dennis Dougherty. Hello, Dennis. Saint Olga is my 32nd great-grandmother, so we are really distant cousins. I, too, am descended from Henry 1, through Philip I Fair. However, I have not been able to determine birth order nor life activities to any extent.

Absolutely well written and in the spirit of a true history-teller. The scariest part of this story became evident to me when I found out that Saint Olga is my 30th Great-Grand mother through her Great Grand Daughter’s marriage to King Henry I of France (Anne of Kiev in year 1051). Henry and Anne had three sons, the third of which is my Grand Father and he was pretty scary also. He called himself the “King of Kings” as he sailed to the Holy Lands with a big army (bigger than Olga’s) to kick some B__ts there during the first Crusade. Thank the lord he had his daughter Isabel before he left for he died of wounds received in battle. Otherwise this comment would be blank!.
