Notes about Igor van Nowgorod

NOTE: Ingvar, also called Igor, grand prince of Kiev and presumably the son ofRurik,
2 CONC prince of Novogorod, who is considered the founder of the dynastythat ruled Kievan Rus and Muscovy until 1598. Igor, successor to thegreat
2 CONC warrior and diplomat Oleg, assumed the throne of Kiev.

Described as a greedy, rapacious, and unsavory prince by the
2 CONC 12th-centuryRussian Primary Chronicle, Igor in 913-914 led an assault
2 CONC intoTranscaucasia that ended in defeat for his forces. He also conducted
2 CONC twoexpeditions against Byzantium (941 and 944), but many of his ships
2 CONC weredestroyed by the "Greek fire," and the treaty that he finally concludedin 944
2 CONC was less advantageous to Kiev than one obtained by Oleg in 911.Igor did manage to extend the authority of Kiev over the Pechenegs, aTurkic
2 CONC people inhabiting the steppes north of the Black Sea, as well asover the East Slavic tribe of Drevlyane. When he went to Dereva (the landof the
2 CONC Drevlyane located in the region of the Pripyat River) to collecttribute (945), however, his attempt to extort more than the customaryamount
2 CONC provoked the Drevlyane into rebelling and killing him.
