*'''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Askold Jarl Dyre the Stranger], Jarldom of Konungardr''': The first Norse ruler of Kiev remains a mystery to historians. The Norse comming from Holmgard settled Kiev to have better access to the Black Sea and the riches of Miklegardr (Constantinople). Historically Askold and/Dyre were slain by Helgi the Seer (son of Rurik of Holmgardr) and Konungardr would become the center of the Rus territory whose rulers would go on to raid Constantinople before converting to Orthodoxy. 

*'''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harald_Fairhair Chieftain Harald 'Fairhair'], Chiefdom of Vestfold''': Harald Fairhair was the first king of Norway which he united to marry the woman he loved (the daughter or chieftain Eirikr of Hordafylki, not in game), at least that is what the sagas tell.

*'''Chieftain Grjotgard of Lade, Chiefdom of Namdafylki''': The Jarls of Lade ruled over all of Trondelag. They allied Harald Fairhair and remained the true power in Northern Norway. During the later conflicts with Denmark over the Norwegian Crown the Jarls of Lade would play kingmakers.

*'''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Werner_I,_Count_of_Klettgau Count Werner von Habsburg], County of Aargau''': The Habsburg dynasty played a major role in European history: they would rise to be Archdrukes of Austria and Holy Roman Emeprors and wear a good number of crows across Europe.
