bullet  General Notes:

Cause of death was assasination.

Rurik's successor Oleg (d. 912) conquered Kiev (c. 882) and established control of the trade route extending from Novgorod, along the Dnieper River, to the Black Sea. Igor (allegedly Rurik's son; reigned 912-945) and his successors--his wife, St. Olga (regent 945-969), and their son Svyatoslav (reigned 945-972)--further extended their territories.
