The 30 year war began on that date. Or. The Bohemians revolted against somebody. Can't remember who.

 

[LionQ]

Bifrost, you're completely, absolutely 100% right! Well done! The next question is yours..... We're waiting.....

 

[Bifrost]

OK, I will dilute that great amount of questions on European History with one that is concerned to the topic of Early-Russia history. I think it will be a bit harder for you to answer . What prince of Kiev Russia destroyed the Khazars' state; made East Roman Empire Pay contributins to Russia during a certain period of history, and was going to replace the capital from Kiev to Belgorod, that was situated closer to Europe and Byzanthium?

 

[willemvanoranje]

They were promised rights which they didn't get. I'd revolt too....with God answering as well that number is 5 now.

 

[nixon]

Bemusing, indeed.

 

[willemvanoranje]

The Catholics won the fight in Prague and the Bohemian Period of the Thirty Years War, so: the Catholics.

I'm still confused. For moments I thought the next question was Bifrost asking who won the war.
...er... Is it?

 

[Bifrost]

Look at my question. I've changed my previous message.
Any Ideas? C'mon, he is one of the most famous princes of early Russia.

WAIT! I asked "who won" the 'competition' You might consider my answer not full.

 

[LionQ]

Who won what? The War, the Bohemian Period of the War, the Rebellions in Prague?

 

[willemvanoranje]

that was the question? no one had a decisive victory, yo'd have to look at it per area who won. I'd say the Dutch won cuz they gained independence and recognition from Spain. Although we like to see it as a different war, it ended with the same Münster treaty in 1648...

Hellooooooo! Anyone read my question?

 

[willemvanoranje]

What prince of Kiev Russia destroyed the Khazars' state; made East Roman Empire Pay contributins to Russia during a certain period of history, and was going to replace the capital from Kiev to Belgorod, that was situated closer to Europe and Byzanthium?

ooh, that's the question

 

[God]

Dmitri of something

EDIT: Khazars- I saw that and thought of the Golden Horde

Answer is Sviatoslav I

 

[MCdread]

I don't know the answer without checking. The only Prince of Kiev that I know is Saint Vladimir, but I guess he's not the one.

 

[Bifrost]

No, Dmitri "of something" was the one who liberated Russia from Mongols' invasion.

No, not Vladimir the Saint.

 

[God]

Yes I just changed it.

 

[God]

I'm sure his name began with 'S'. Check my 1st post with Dmitri, I edited it.
