Who was Dyre the Stranger?
Answer:
Dyre the Stranger is a semi-mythical character who may have been involved in an uprising in Kiev in the late 9th century along with Askold, the supposed grandson of the semi-legendary Ragnar Lodbrok. It is possible that Dyre never existed or if he did that the tales of his exploits are exaggerated, but it is possible that he was an influential figure in the city of Kiev in the late 9th century AD.
