Individual Details
Igor
(877 - 945)
He was a Varangian ruler of Kievan Rus' from 912 to 945. He twice besieged Constantinople, in 941 and 944, and in spite of part of his fleet being destroyed by Greek fire, concluded with the Emperor a favourable treaty whose text is preserved in the chronicle. In 913 and 944, the Rus' plundered the Arabs in the Caspian Sea during the Caspian expeditions of the Rus', but it's not clear whether Igor had anything to do with these campaigns.
Igor was killed while collecting tribute from the Drevlians in 945.
