Page "Olga of Kiev" Paragraph 8
from
Wikipedia
With the best and wisest men out of the way, she planned to destroy the remaining Drevlians.
She invited them to a funeral feast so she could mourn over her husband's grave, where her servants waited on them.
After the Drevlians were drunk, Olga's soldiers killed over 5, 000 of them.
She returned to Kiev and prepared an army to attack the survivors.
The Drevlians begged for mercy and offered to pay for their freedom with honey and furs.
She asked for three pigeons and three sparrows from each house, since she did not want to burden the villagers any further after the siege.
They were happy to comply with such a reasonable request.
