The age of Chivalry to which so many Welsh castles belong evokes romantic images of heroic knights winning fair ladies' hands. But when you look at the design and construction of Snowdonia's medieval castles, it's clear this wasn't a romantic age at all, but one of hardship and brutality.

Scandinavian traders (Varangians), also called "Rus", originally founded Kiev. It was being used as a trading post. Oleg of Novgorod had captured Kiev in 882 and founded the state of Kievan Rus. The Golden Age of Kiev took place during the reigns of Vladimir Svyatoslavich the Great (980 -1015) and his son Yaroslov I the Wise (1019 -1054). In 983 Slavic Paganism was still prominent. Vladimir had numerous wives and several concubines. He had pagan statues erected and built shrines for the gods. Human sacrifice was also taking place in Kiev during this period of time. Vladimir in 987 sent servants to neighboring nations to study the different religions. When the servants came back their report was not favorable to most of the religions that they had studied. The servants were impressed with the Byzantine Church in Constantinople and had described to Vladimir the Divine Liturgy in the Hagia Sophia, which was Orthodox religion at that time.
