After the death of his father, Svyatoslav I, ruler of Kievan Rus, the young prince Vladimir is forced into exile across the frozen sea in Sweden to escape his treacherous half-brother Yaropolk, who has murdered his other brother Oleg and conquered the territory of Kievan Rus'. The old warrior Sveneld convinces Vladimir to assemble a force of Viking mercenaries led by a Swedish chieftain, hoping to reconquer Kiev from Yaropolk'. He then goes to Cherson in the Crimea, captures it from the Byzantines, and negotiates both his baptism into the Christian church marriage to the East Roman Emperors' sister, and proceeds to Christianize the Rus' both in Kiev and elsewhere.
