THE SCARY DEATH OF PRINCE IGOR (π912-945)
THE SCARY DEATH OF PRINCE IGOR (π912-945)
The Russian prince collected tribute from the conquered lands during the annual detour, starting from autumn and ending in spring. Furs and silver were collected in bags and sealed with a princely seal.
The amount of requisitions was not regulated, sometimes accompanied by robbery and harassment of local residents. In the winter of 945, when Prince Igor (π912-945) was already returning, collecting tribute from the land of the Drevlyans, his squad thought that it would be possible to take more.
As an example, Igor was brought to his governor that his squad in abundance replenished with new weapons and clothes. Igor (π912-945) could not stand it when someone else's luck exceeded his own.
And he returned to the Drevlyans to take a tribute from them a second time, in violation of all agreements. The Drevlyans retaliated against Igor (π912–945) as against the conqueror. The prince was captured and subjected to shameful and painful execution. He was tied to the tops of trees and, releasing bent trunks, tore in two.
